Signature features
The Brent Mason Signature Custom Pro is based on the Joe-Glaser-modified 1968 Fender Telecaster that Mason has used on countless sessions for the last 15-plus years. The Signature’s most notable features are its Gibson mini-humbucker in the neck position, Duncan Hot Stack for Strat humbucker in the middle slot, and Duncan Classic Stack for Tele humbucker at the bridge. A separate volume control allows the middle pickup to be blended in with the other pickups. The Signature Custom Pro also has a push-pull function on the tone control that activates a coil tap on the middle pickup.
An eye-catching guitar
Cosmetically, the Brent Mason Signature Custom Pro is a unique blend of disparate elements. The silver body and black pickguard go great together, and the matching headstock is a nice touch. A mix of chrome-, gold-, and nickel-plated hardware, a “vintage” toned neck, and, of all things, a red pickup complete this eye-catching guitar. The Signature Custom’s big neck feels great, the large frets are smoothly rendered, and the neck joint is ultra snug.
Great intonation, big neck
The Brent Mason Signature Custom Pro is intonated well, courtesy of its six-saddle bridge. Those who favor huge necks will absolutely flip over the girth of the Signature’s gloss-finished model. You might want to try before you buy if your hands are really small, but average-sized hands will love the feel of this neck.
Amazing tonal range
The Signature Custom’s passive electronics yield a fascinating range of tones. The basic idea of the pickup and wiring scheme is to deliver classic Tele spank, but with bigger neck-pickup tones and a whole lot of additional sounds in between. That’s exactly what the Signature Custom does, and now players can benefit.

Are the Brent Mason signaturemodel possible to put a Parson/White double bender system in?
Hey Magnus. I would say “anything is possible” with the right skills and tools. But if you want to know how viable it is, I would contact Valley Arts Guitars. Here is their email: Jonathon B: valleyartsguitarz@gmail.com
Good luck!
I would really like to know where I could buy the Valley Arts Brent Mason Signature
Telecaster if anyone can help me? I see where Fender is set to begin manufacturing and marketing the guitar,…but they are going to want $2,500 for it and I was hoping to find one a tad less costly.
Kenny good luck on finding the Valley Arts Brent Mason Signature Telecaster below the cost of the new Fender Brent Mason cost of $2500. Unless you are willing to settle for one of the odd colored ones Valley Arts released for reason’s I’ll never quite understand?
