Chris Shiflett’s signature "The Cleaver" Telecaster® Deluxe is a no-nonsense, road-tested powerhouse built to dominate the stage, and now it's available at Haggerty's Music. Designed to deliver stadium-shaking tones with effortless playability, this stripped-down rock machine lives up to its name, slashing through the mix with snarling aggression or singing with pristine clarity. A resonant alder body, dressed in a nitrocellulose lacquer finish with a comfortable “belly cut,” provides a perfect tonal foundation. The maple neck, with a 12” radius rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, is built for speed, offering smooth bends and blazing leads, while pearloid block inlays add a touch of style.

At the heart of "The Cleaver" are its Custom Chris Shiflett Noiseless™ CS-90 pickups, delivering the powerful punch and throaty midrange of vintage single coils without the hum. The hardtail bridge, bone nut, and “F”-style tuning machines ensure rock-solid stability and sustain through the most demanding performances. Whether you’re hitting dirty riffs or soaring clean melodies, this guitar is built to handle it all. The Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster® Deluxe isn’t just a guitar; it’s your partner in creating unforgettable live moments. Plug in at Haggerty's Music and take your sound to the next level.
