Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '61 Tele Relic - Vintage Look, Tone, and Feel With A Modern Twist

This Limited Edition Custom Shop Telecaster takes all the magic of a Vintage '61 Tele and adds a few modern upgrades to make a truly spectacular instrument that will enhance any player's collection!

The 2-Piece Alder '63 Tele Body holds a 5/4 Quater-Sawn Maple Neck which features a beautiful 21-Fret AAA Rosewood Fingerboard sorted for dark wood. A classic Daphne Blue Sparkle Lacquer Finish is reliced to give it a pre-loved vintage appeal, and features Pre-CBS Vintage Appointments like Vintage Clay Face and Side Dots, Vintage Fender Logo Tuning Machines, Vintage Spec Chrome Hardware, and a 3-Ply Parchment Nitro '60 Tele Pickguard. The Pickups blend the best of the old and the new with a Hand-Wound Twisted Tele Neck Pickup and a Hand-Wound Original Blackguard Bridge Pickup with Modern Tele Controls. The Twisted Tele Neck is crisp and clean with just a bit of Strat flavor and sounds great clean or driven while the Original Blackguard gives the bridge true vintage warmth and clarity and absolutely roars in overdrive! Finally, this Custom Shop Tele is equipped with a Grease Bucket Circuit designed to roll off highs without adding bass for more precise tone control.

Includes a gorgeous Custom Shop G&G Vintage Brown/Black Interior Hard Shell Case, Bridge Cover, Leather Strap, and COA. Shop Floor Traveler in Pics for full specs.

Custom Shop Relic Finish

There and back—and still here today. The authentic worn-in wear of a guitar that has experienced many years of regular use in clubs and bars. Marks that tell a story, finish checking all over the body, and scars, dings and dents from bridge to headstock.
