Fender Custom Shop 60s Reverse Telecaster Journeyman Relic - Champagne Metallic (Journeyman Relic) with Custom Shop Hard Shell Case

Classic Fender Vibe in a Striking Metallic Finish

The Fender Custom Shop 60s Reverse Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Champagne Metallic offers a bold new take on the beloved vintage Tele aesthetic. With its nitrocellulose lacquer finish and tastefully worn Journeyman Relic treatment, this guitar has the soulful look of a seasoned stage veteran, while delivering pristine, hand-crafted quality throughout. The reverse control layout adds a twist to the familiar format, making this Tele a distinctive performer’s tool built for modern players with vintage sensibilities.

Light, Resonant Alder Body with Period-Correct Style

Crafted from a select 2-piece alder body with an off-center seam, this Tele balances resonance and comfort. The reverse Nocaster bridge and traditional 7-hole tortoise pickguard combine classic lines with Custom Shop-level detail. It’s a build that doesn’t just look vintage—it feels alive, responsive, and well-worn in the best possible way.

Rift-Sawn Maple Neck and AAA Rosewood Fingerboard

At the heart of the playability is a rift-sawn maple neck shaped to a 60-style "Large C" profile. Topped with a AAA rosewood fingerboard, the compound 7.25 to 9.5 inch radius and narrow tall 6105 frets provide a slick, vintage feel with modern playability.

Modern Tonal Power with Vintage Character

This build blends the best of old and new with a handwound 51 Nocaster bridge pickup and a Seymour Duncan SH1 neck humbucker—both relic’d to match the aesthetic. The Dual Stack HS Tele wiring with a 3-way switch and reversed control plate gives you intuitive access to tones that cut, sing, and growl. From classic twang to thick neck-position warmth, this Tele delivers with clarity and punch.

Built for Working Guitarists and Tone Enthusiasts

Every element of this guitar reflects Fender Custom Shop’s master-level craftsmanship. From the relic’d chrome/nickel hardware to the vintage clay dot inlays and matching hard shell case, the details are deliberate, thoughtful, and performance-ready. This isn’t just a guitar—it’s a partner on stage, in the studio, and wherever inspiration hits.
