New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the 1963 Telecaster® Relic®. A wonderfully crafted reproduction of the Telecaster® from the golden era of Fender’s past, this guitar is a perfect combination of this period’s appointments.
The two-piece select alder body is artfully aged in Relic® lacquer Lake Placid Blue finish and is paired with a rift sawn maple neck with ‘60s-style Oval “C” back-shape and a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. With the throaty midrange and bite of a Custom Shop hand-wound Original Blackguard bridge pickup and the crystalline clarity of a Custom Shop hand-wound Twisted Tele neck pickup, this guitar delivers classic Telecaster® tone with astonishing versatility.
Other premium features include 9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, Modern Tele® wiring with Greasebucket™ tone circuit, 3-way switch, 3-ply mint green pickguard, '58-'63 tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
