Bound top and bottom in crisp white nitro and finished in a Bleached 3 Tone Sunburst that has been worn through to the wood front and back in the unmistakable style of the celebrated 2011 Limited Edition, this Heavy Relic Telecaster Custom is a faithful tribute to one of the most sought after Custom Shop builds of the past fifteen years. A Large C profile maple neck with tinted nitro lacquer carries a AAA rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius, 21 Sanko 6105 frets, micarta white dot inlays and an early 60s truss rod. The finish has been stripped from the rear of the neck and dirtied for that broken in feel that makes you reach for it before any other guitar in the room. A pair of 51 Nocaster pickups, neck and bridge, deliver classic warmth, smooth midrange and that iconic Tele twang, with vintage accurate flush Alnico 3 magnets giving a balanced, articulate, authentic early 50s Tele voice through a 63 Tele relic control plate with modern wiring. Hardware is rounded out with a 63 vintage Tele relic bridge, three threaded vintage saddles, a vintage Tele output jack and an R series vintage relic neck plate. A genuinely special Fender Custom Shop Telecaster Custom for the player who wants the look, feel and tone of a long played 60s Tele without the wait or the lottery.
