Description

Diving into Fender's rich history and expert craftsmanship, the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Telecaster Custom Relic in Aged Charcoal Frost Metallic brings to life the iconic '63 Tele vibe with a technical mastery that transcends time. This meticulously detailed instrument is the epitome of the Fender Custom Shop's relentless dedication to exceptional quality and refined precision, designed for both vintage purists and modern players alike.

Sculpted from a 2-piece ash body handpicked for its lightweight properties, this Telecaster resonates with a radiant, clear tonality, reminiscent of the timeless sound that has positioned Telecasters as the industry standard since their inception. The body is shrouded in a sophisticated aged charcoal frost metallic finish, emitting a well-aged aesthetic that speaks volumes of the guitar's seasoned past.

The neck, an essential facet of any guitar, is crafted from roasted birdseye maple and features a distinctive unfinished neck back relic. This combines for a pleasant, tangible vintage experience that's simply awe-inspiring. With its '60s style oval "C" profile, it rests perfectly in your hand, allowing for endless hours of comfortable play. At the 1st fret, the neck measures a decently thin .790" thickens out to .930" at the 12th fret.

Extending the vintage appeal, a rich AAA rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius is loaded with 21 highly-lauded "6105" frets and adorned with wide vintage clay inlays. This lends the instrument an undeniable vintage allure while offering a smooth, highly responsive surface that your fingers will relish.

At its heart, this Telecaster boasts a hand-wound Tele Texas Special pickup at the bridge and a Josefina hand-wound neck humbucker. Together, they provide an expansive tonal palette that can shift seamlessly from sharp, snappy rhythms to warm, nuanced leads - a truly versatile pairing.

Weighing a comfortable 7lbs 14.1oz, this guitar is a breeze to play, ensuring your focus remains entirely on your performance without strain. Each Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Telecaster Custom Relic in Aged Charcoal Frost Metallic is a testament to Fender's enduring legacy, brilliantly bridging the gap between vintage allure and modern playability.
