Vintage-inspired style and tone with a duo of Custom Shop hand-wound Tele single-coil pickups.
The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition ’53 Telecaster Journeyman Relic electric guitar celebrates iconic Fender sound and style with its meticulous construction and vintage-inspired features. It has a 2-piece offset seam ash body with a Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The 1-piece 2A flame quartersawn maple neck is shaped in a smooth, comfortable profile, and topped with a flame quartersawn maple fingerboard, 21 narrow-tall frets and black Micarta inlays. The ’53 Telecaster’s tone is powered by a duo of Custom Shop hand-wound single-coil pickups—an Original Blackguard Tele at the bridge and Twisted Tele at the neck—with master volume and tone controls and a 3-way pickup switch to shape your sound with precision. Additional appointments include vintage-style tuners with the Fender logo, a 3-saddle American Vintage strings-thru-body bridge, bone nut and nickel/chrome hardware. Comes with a deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
