Creating a detailed, nuanced vision of a vintage Tele visibly put through its paces, this Custom Shop piece assembles with some classic woods, iconic electronics, and a worn aesthetic thoroughly lived-in. This limited release Fender Custom Shop piece carries with it effortless style and substance for any Tele fan to obsess over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this limited release, the Fender Custom Shop brings out some real classy elements to elevate the whole design. This all kicks off with a two-piece ash body sorted for weight. For players prioritizing a lighter weight in their guitar, this Tele's sorted for weight quality lands its ash body with a lighter feel as the whole instrument sits just above seven pounds. The sorted ash pick that makes up this body is then wrapped in a black lacquer finish with a Fender Custom Shop Super Heavy Relic finish treatment. The Custom Shop's Super Heavy Relic level of finish wear is their highest with the heaviest examples of aesthetic wear and damage you can get from the Custom Shop. Plenty of the underlying ash peeks through the black lacquer for a multidimensional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtending out, this Custom Shop piece reaches out with a 5\/4 quartersawn maple neck assuming a '57 Style Soft \"V\" profile. The profile in question is a fairly popular one among Custom Shop builds with its fuller, rounded shape balancing vintage thickness and more modern playability. While this neck is quite playable, it also offers an interesting angle on its quartersawn wood through an unfinished Relic neck back. This neck is then lined with twenty-one frets utilizing Fender's 6105 Narrow Tall fret wire. Another popular pick for Fender Custom Shop builds, Narrow Tall fret wire accentuates playability though its taller and thinner shape. Micarta Black facedots line the worn-in, fret-ghosted, 9.5\" radius fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its voice, this limited run Tele calls on two hand-wound '58 Tele single-coil pickups. These two single-coils produce the all-important, everlasting, indispensable twang and snap that made the Telecaster an icon. As shaped through Fat '50s Tele wiring, these pickups are effortlessly sculpted. These two hand-wound specials are backed up by a number of sturdy hardware specs. Onboard, a 55-57 Tele bridge, bone nut, and Fender Vintage-Style tuning machines all align for reliable stringing and playing experiences. Across this Tele, you'll find only Phillips head screws and a Fender Custom Shop limited edition neck plate and headstock decal. This Custom Shop piece travels with an included Strat\/Tele Tweed hardshell case with a blue interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbodying an image of a Fender played, traveled, and well-loved, this Custom piece is the picture of classic Tele design. Like really any other instrument, this limited edition Custom Shop Tele is not one to be kept under glass – though we wouldn't blame you for wanting to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender Custom Shop limited edition release Telecaster model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-piece ash solid body sorted for weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfinished 5\/4 quartersawn maple neck in '57 Style Soft \"V\" profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.5\" radius fingerboard with Micarta Black facedots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty-one frets with Narrow Tall (6105) fret wire and fret ghosting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo hand-wound '58 Tele single-coil pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender Vintage-Style tuning machines and bone nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55-57 Tele bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender Custom Shop Super Heavy Relic lacquer body finish treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender Custom Shop Relic hardware finish treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Phillips head screws used across model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender Custom Shop limited edition neck plate and headstock decal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender Custom Shop Strat\/Tele Tweed hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53769626091688,"sku":"9231016969","price":5475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/9231016969_LIMITED-57-TELECASTER-SUPER-HEAVY-RELIC-BLACK_CZ586086-2.jpg?v=1757688080","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-limited-telecaster-super-heavy-relic-electric-guitar-black","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
