Fender Custom Shop '68 Reissue Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic
This is a 2021 Fender Custom Shop Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic w/ factory original Bigsby
This is one of the coolest & best tele's I've had. It's light weight, loud, resonant & feels perfectly worn in.
This one is done in the Aged Black Journeyman Relic Finish package. There are some minor chips & checking etc from the factory. The lacquer is sunk into the Ash grain like you'd find on the vintage originals, only applied even thinner than they did in 1968.
The maple capped fingerboard neck is a comfortable .850" at the 1st fret & .920" at the 12th with a "60 Style Oval C" profile. This feels more of a "rounded C" than you would find on the more common .790"-930" profile we see on most of the Custom Shop Teles. It has the 6105 frets.
The hand wound Twisted Tele pickups sound like you probably hope they do... Awesome distinct Tele sound with a bit more of a "Strat" tone from the neck pickup. It's a powerful set that cleans up great when you roll the volume back.
Some extra time was already put into the setup to keep the "F" logo Bigsby in tune so you don't have to. There is a Reverend Guitars spring on the Bigsby which improves the function at least 1000%... if I may indulge in some hyperbole for a moment. You can go full Hendrix (or as close as possible with a Bigsby) & still be okay. The original spring is in the case but you won't want to use it after playing with the Reverend spring. Using a dab of silicon grease like "nut sauce" on the nut slots and bridge saddles will help maintain the tuning stability after string changes in the future.
Weight is 7.0 pounds
It comes with the original case, case candy & Certificate of Authenticity etc.
