Fender Telecaster 1952 Custom Shop Limited Edition Choclate Sun Burst - Left Handed

This is a rare, left-handed example of Fender’s 2022 Limited Edition B2 50s Twisted Telecaster from the Custom Shop a guitar built for the boutique dealer market with specs you simply won’t find on anything production-line. Left-handed Custom Shop guitars are extraordinarily scarce, and this one ticks every box for the serious collector or working player.

The Journeyman Relic finish gives it that broken-in resonance without going full distress it looks and plays like a well-loved vintage piece while staying tasteful. The body sports a stunning Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst with plum-colored sides, bound top and bottom in parchment. Drop-dead gorgeous.

Overall condition is very good with some tiny dings that are hard to distinguish with the relic job. The pickguard does have cracks by the screw holes due to over tightening of the pick guard.

Comes with OHSC and COA booklet
