Take a trip into Custom Shop craftsmanship with the Limited Edition Hotshot Telecaster Relic in Aged Tomatillo Green. This exceptional instrument blends the timeless style of a '52 Telecaster with the bold personality and tonal versatility of a modern custom build.

The lightweight off-center 2-piece ash body delivers classic Fender resonance and sustain, wrapped in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer Relic finish that beautifully captures decades of natural wear and checking. A one-piece quartersawn maple neck with a comfortable ’57 Soft “V” profile and 7.25"–9.5" compound radius offers smooth playability and vintage feel, enhanced by subtle relic touches like dirty fretboard ghosting and an unfinished back for that perfectly broken-in comfort.

Under the hood, the Hotshot Tele’s unique three-pickup configuration combines the best of Fender’s tonal worlds: a Hand-Wound Tomatillo Tele Neck pickup, a Hand-Wound Poblano Strat RWRP Middle pickup, and a Hand-Wound Crushed Blackguard Tele Bridge pickup—all delivering rich, dynamic tones with remarkable clarity and punch. Premium knurled chrome controls, a Nocaster bridge, and vintage Tele hardware complete the authentic aesthetic.

Housed in a Custom Shop black hardshell case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, this limited edition Telecaster is a striking fusion of heritage design and Custom Shop innovation—built for players who demand both style and substance.
