Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Relic Black Over Candy Apple Red 9238001608

One of the most sensational Teles we've ever tried, the first sight of it was truly jaw-dropping, with it's unique Black over Candy Apple Red finish and a great relic job and feel. And what a neck! Twang craze for the most demanding players! It features a series of very interesting design concepts like the 9.5'' fretboard (for all of those 7.25'' retractors) and the Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker, that offers exceptional results and teams up perfectly with the bridge's Nocaster Singlecoil. Super comfortable to play, with medium jumbo frets and a very soft relic'ed neck feel, all a Tele should ever be, with a lot of twang present all the time (even when the neck p'up is selected). The volume and tone pots respond nicely and offer easy to set-up tone possibilities. The lightweight ash body (around 7lbs 8oz) is extremely resonant, and the sustain is huge. The relic'd finish is super thin nitro, with a beautifully aged look and plenty of checking and Custom Shop wear.  It also includes two original cases: the SKB case, so you can travel bullet-proof, and the beautiful and sought-after Themometer Case, all covered in lacquered tweed. The guitar is like new. In fact, we could say it IS new, though we can't due to license policies. We have been the first owners, so the guitar has not been played other than to set it up and test it ourselves. It is a very carefully picked guitar, so we are upon a great one, folks. It just doesn't get much better than this. It includes all accessories, case candy, COA, etc.
