SOLD!!! Relic Telecaster Black Burst Tele

Handmade Tele Telecaster

This has been my #1 for 4 years now.

It's gone through a lot of transitions and landed here.

Built from the exact specs of a 54 Telecaster.

Specs:

2 Piece American Alder Body with black nitrocellulose finish over dye Tobacco burst.

1 Piece 21 fret Maple neck with beautiful dark Rosewood fretboard. Cream plastic dot inlays. All nitrocellulose checked finish.

The neck profile is standard C. .84" at the 1st fret, .92 at the 12th, 9.5" radius.

Overall weight is 7 lbs 9.1 oz

Fender Relic Bridge compensated brass saddles.

Fender "F" Neck plate installed upside-down.

Fender control plate, 3 way standard switch drilled and fitted with 3 way Gib$on style switch. (Way easier & adds player cred)

Fender Roadworn Relic Tuners.

Nickel circle String tree.

Neck pickup is an ODEZZA custom hand-wound 5/2.

Bridge Pickup is a Slick Fullerton Relic. (I know a cheaper bridge pickup right?? I've had Lollar, Bareknuckles & Seymour antiquity in this guitar, the Slick has the best sound)

ODEZZA's are found in only 1 production guitar. Luck¥dogs. I personally know the Owner/winder of ODEZZA pickups and these are hands down the best neck pickups on the market. I've played MANY.

Guitar is strung with Billy Gibbons Dunlop 7's cause I don't like to work hard.

I hate to let this one go. I have too many guitars & 3 still on the build bench. Financial crunch of the times...
