Take a journey back to 1955 with this meticulously crafted 1955 Telecaster® Journeyman Relic® the Fender Custom Shop. Its lightweight, resonant 2-piece select ash body wears a Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Super Aged Sonic Blue, imparting the look of a well-loved original from the mid-50s.
