This 2025 Fender Custom Shop '63 Telecaster Relic is in excellent condition, showing no wear beyond the stunning factory-applied relic treatment. The Aged Lake Placid Blue finish is absolutely gorgeous, with tasteful checking and authentic wear that perfectly complements the dark round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. It's an exceptional-looking Tele that sounds every bit as good as it looks. Internal pocket of hardshell case has slight damage, but does not impact structure.

The electronics function flawlessly, delivering outstanding vintage-inspired Tele tone with added power and clarity.

Built to capture the spirit of an early-'60s Telecaster while incorporating the precision and craftsmanship of today's Fender Custom Shop, this Relic model is an inspiring instrument for both players and collectors.

The lightweight select alder body delivers the balanced, resonant voice that made vintage Telecasters legendary—crisp highs, focused mids, and tight, punchy lows. Finished in beautifully aged Lake Placid Blue nitrocellulose lacquer, the expertly executed Relic treatment features subtle lacquer checking, softened edges, and naturally worn details that give the guitar the look and feel of a well-loved vintage original. The mint green pickguard perfectly complements the faded metallic blue finish, creating one of Fender's most iconic and desirable color combinations.

The quartersawn maple neck provides exceptional stability and sustain while the comfortable '60s Style Oval "C"profile feels instantly familiar. Measuring approximately .820" at the 1st fret and .890" at the 12th fret, it offers an ideal balance between vintage feel and modern comfort. The beautiful dark round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, paired with a 9.5-inch radius and 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets, delivers smooth playability, effortless bends, and outstanding note definition.

Loaded with a pair of Fender Custom Shop hand-wound pickups, including an OBG Blackguard bridge pickupand a Twisted Tele neck pickup, this Telecaster offers classic Tele twang with increased output, exceptional clarity, and impressive dynamic range. The bridge pickup delivers punch, bite, and unmistakable Tele snap, while the Twisted Tele neck pickup adds warmth, openness, and articulate bell-like tones. Together they create an incredibly versatile instrument equally suited for country, blues, rock, Americana, and beyond.
