Introducing this brand new Fender Custom Shop 1955 Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Shoreline Gold — a stunning blend of early Tele bite and mid-’50s elegance. Built by the legendary Fender Custom Shop, this ’55 Tele delivers classic blackguard-era tone with a tasteful Journeyman Relic finish that feels broken-in from day one.
The lightweight 2-piece ash body is finished in beautifully aged Shoreline Gold nitro, paired with a maple neck carved to a comfortable 10/56 “V” profile. Loaded with Custom Shop Hand-Wound ’55/’56 Tele pickups, this guitar delivers everything you want from a great Tele — punchy lows, cutting twang, rich harmonic sparkle, and a sweet, vocal neck pickup tone. Vintage-inspired specs meet modern playability thanks to a 7.25"–9.5" compound radius and medium jumbo frets.
