This is a rare and very uniquely spec-ed 2023 Fender Custom Shop HS Telecaster Custom Relic in a good-looking Three Tone Sunburst finish.

Mint to near mint condition, no issues, no fret wear as far as I can see. There is a bit of hazing in the finish here and there, but hey, it is a relic.

The ash body is super-lightweight and resonant.

The roasted maple neck is beautifully figured and nicely resonating.

The flat lam, super-dark rosewood fretboard with finely rounded edges completes the package in terms of tonewoods.

Electronics-wise, both the bridge and neck pickups are great obvs.

I bought the guitar second hand, but I purchased the case and the strap brand new separately because I just like my gear in a fresh and mint package.

I have had lots of CS Strats and this is my second CS Tele, but this is easily in the top three Custom Shop Fenders I have owned! Even in the top two...

I am selling a few guitars of mine including this one as, after a long quest, I have found the "perfect, forever" guitars for me. I am hoping to be able to buy those after selling these. Still, I am not in a rush. It is hard to let these instruments go because they are very, very good. I am very happy to have a respectful discussion about anything with potential buyers, but please show some respect by not sending low-ball, half-arsed offers. My asking prices are already ridiculously low. Any lower would be "peanuts"-category and I can get that much from the usual guitar stores ("sell your gear"), anyway.

Main specs:

Ash Body

Roasted Flame Maple Neck 

Neck depth at 1st fret is 0.79" , 0.93" at 12th fret

Fender 60s Style Oval C neck profile

Pickups: HW Josefina PW humbucker and HW Texas Special Tele pickup

Weight 6lbs 14oz

It comes with the COA, the floor traveller and the other pictured accessories.

The guitar's jack socket was a tiny bit loose, now it has been professionally replaced by a Pure Tone Full Contact 1/4 Output Jack and an Allparts ElectroSocket Jack Socket Plate to fix that. The original jack and jackplate are included.

UK ONLY, SORRY.

NO SWAPS, SORRY.

POSTAGE IS WITH PARCEL FORCE AM (NEXT MORNING WORKING DAY) DELIVERY. BUT DISPATCH CAN TAKE A FEW DAYS DUE TO WORK.

I MAY RAISE THE PRICE OR END THE LISTING EARLY IF I CHANGE MY MIND. AND I OFTEN DO THAT DEPENDING HOW MUCH OR HOW SOON I WANT TO BUY MY NEXT GUITAR.

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS, TOO.

THANK YOU.
