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.

Happy to answer questions or provide additional photos, including the serial number and any specific area you’d like a closer look at.
