This Fender Custom Shop ’61 Heavy Relic Telecaster in Shoreline Gold delivers vintage vibe with Custom Shop precision. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer with an authentically worn Heavy Relic treatment, this Tele feels and sounds like a well-loved original from the early ’60s.

A 1/4 sawn maple neck with a comfortable ’60s Oval “C” profile and dark-tint nitro finish pairs with an AAA 9M rosewood fingerboard, 9.5" radius, and medium jumbo 6150 frets for smooth, modern playability. Classic touches like vintage clay dots, bone nut, and the incredible aged finish makes this Tele bad to the bone.

Loaded with hand-wound ’63 Tele pickups and 1963 wiring, this Telecaster delivers articulate highs, punchy mids, and unmistakable vintage twang.
