A genuinely special piece with a story: this is a NAMM Show display model of the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ‘50s Thinline Telecaster Relic in Pink Paisley, completed 12/06/2018. Before finding its way to a private collection, this guitar was shown on the floor at Fender’s NAMM display (display #55).

It comes with everything Fender originally included:

• Fender Certificate of Authenticity (signed by Chris Fleming, Director of Custom Shop)

• Original Fender Custom Shop “Shop Floor Traveler” build sheet with full spec breakdown

• Original Limited Edition hangtag with serial number

• Case candy: extra pickup screws/parts, Custom Shop sticker, Custom Care booklet, Owner’s Manual, 2018 Custom Guitar Design Guide

• Original tweed Deluxe Hardshell case (one side latch is a little stiff to close, otherwise solid)

SPECS (from original build sheet):

• 2-piece select ash Thinline body w/ F-hole, nitrocellulose lacquer Relic finish

• 1-piece quartersawn maple neck, ’57-style soft “V” back-shape, 9.5” radius

• 21 narrow-tall (6105) frets

• Hand-wound Original Blackguard bridge pickup + Texas Special neck pickup

• Modern Tele wiring with Greasebucket tone circuit

• ’51-’54 vintage-style bridge with brass barrel saddles

• Vintage-style F-style tuners, bone nut

• Single-ply parchment pickguard

CONDITION: All wear is factory-applied relic aging (lacquer checking, edge wear, distressed hardware) - there is no player wear, damage, or repairs. This guitar has been well cared for and displayed rather than gigged.

Weight: 6lbs 2oz
