About Fender Parallel Universe II

All dressed up and ready to brawl - the Troublemaker Tele Deluxe Bigsby is elegant in black. Dressed in a classic lacquer finish, a stately ebony fingerboard and elevated by pearloid block inlays and white binding throughout, this guitar presents a dashing figure, ready to do some damage.

But don't let the debonair "tuxedo" look fool you, the Troublemaker Tele Deluxe is a brute looking for a good time. The 12" radius neck and 22 medium-jumbo frets promise smooth action even with the most aggressive playing. The solid mahogany body gives it a warm mid-range growl and its three custom-calibrated Double Tap humbucking pickups can be smooth and suave or raucous and rebellious, as the job requires.

It's been said that the well-behaved rarely make history. With a tie around its neck and a slingshot in its pocket, the Troublemaker Tele Deluxe Bigsby is ready to make some beautiful noise.

Mahogany Body
Provides warm lows, smooth mids and sweet highs

Mahogany Neck with Ebony Fingerboard
Mahogany delivers a fat foundation for the brighter highs of the ebony - a perfect combination

Calibrated Triple Set of Double Tap Humbucking Pickups
Open, delicate tones from the neck and middle, robust power from the bridge pickup, with Double Tap technology for crisp single-coil sounds at will

Custom Electronics
Special wiring allows 8 unique pickup combinations

Gold Hardware
From the Bigsby trem to the pearl-button Kluson tuners, gold hardware abounds

Custom Neck Plate, Coa and Custom Color Hardshell Case
