The Fender Custom Shop W25 1963 Telecaster Journeyman brings the character of an early-'60s Telecaster together with the refined playability and attention to detail of a Custom Shop instrument. The lightweight alder body and quartersawn maple neck give it a lively, resonant response, while the hand-wound Twisted Tele pickups deliver plenty of clarity, snap and warmth with a little more body than a traditional Tele pickup. The '63 wiring keeps the guitar direct and familiar, with plenty of range from bright, cutting rhythm tones to fuller lead sounds. Finished in Vintage White with a matching headstock, tortoise pickguard and Journeyman Relic treatment, it has the look of a well-loved vintage instrument without feeling overdone. The comfortable '63 Strat-style C neck and 6105 frets make it particularly easy to play, while the three-saddle bridge retains the unmistakable feel and response of a classic Telecaster. This is a great combination of vintage-inspired character, excellent playability and the distinctive voice that makes a Custom Shop Tele so appealing.
