Bought this New from Guitar Center on July 5, 2026 and it has been played sparingly at home. Bought it because I was waiting on a Custom Built Tele that had taken over a year to get. Recently got the Custom Build Tele and it exceeded my expectations. As much as I LOVE this Custom Shop ‘55 Telecaster, I just don't need it. That said, I will not be giving it away. It has already been heavily discounted so I won't be accepting offers that aren't very close to asking price.

The Fender Custom Shop 55 Telecaster Journeyman Relic with DLX Closet Classic electric guitar is a meticulously crafted homage to one of Fender's most iconic designs. Finished in Super Aged Natural Blonde with a nitrocellulose lacquer, this Telecaster exudes vintage character while offering modern reliability. Its two-piece select ash body delivers a resonant, balanced tone that is both crisp and full. The 1-piece quartersawn maple neck features a smooth nitro finish, narrow-tall frets, and a vintage-style heel truss rod adjustment for a classic feel and effortless playability. Equipped with hand-wound '55/'56 single-coil Tele pickups, this model delivers a dynamic tonal range, from twangy highs to punchy mids. Whether on stage or in the studio, this Telecaster ensures every nuance of your playing shines through.

Other premium features include a 7.25 to 9.5 Vintage Compound Radius, Fat 50's Tele Wiring, 1 Ply Parchment Pickguard, 3-Saddle American Vintage Strings-Through-Body Tele Bridge with Brass Saddles and Vintage Style Tuning Machines.
