Custom Shop | Fender

Weighing in at a svelte 7 lbs, 8 oz, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the '57 Telecaster Journeyman Relic. An expertly crafted incarnation of the Telecaster from a particularly prized model year, it's loaded with looks, sound and vibe that authentically evoke the instrument in the second half of its debut decade. The two-piece select ash body produces sweet midrange and tight lows, and wears striking Journeyman Relic lacquer finishes in Aged White Blonde, Wide Fade Two-Color Sunburst and Aged Candy Tangerine. This special treatment imparts the look of a guitar that has changed hands or been handed down over the years, mostly played around the house and the occasional jam session or weekend gig. This generally well-cared-for look includes light finish checking, several "friendly" down-to-the-wood nicks and dings, some dulling of the hardware, and general moderate playing wear. The look of a very lucky find, in short. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck is sculpted with a '57-style Soft "V" profile for comfortable and period-correct full-hand feel, topped by a 9.5" radius maple fingerboard with 21 narrow tall (6105) frets and a bone nut. Dual Custom Shop hand-wound '58 Telecaster pickups with Fat '50s Tele wiring deliver clear, crisp highs with well-balanced midrange and low end. Other premium features include a single-ply parchment pickguard, three-way pickup switch, '55-'57 Telecaster® bridge with steel barrel saddles, vintage-style tuners, wing string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.

Here we have a beautiful 1996 Custom Shop '60s Stratocaster in Olympic White. This guitar is absolutely awesome! One of my favorite features of this Stratocaster is the beautiful high-grade flamed maple neck, it has a nice slim '60s feel that is super comfortable and easy to play. The relic'ing on the guitar is tastefully done, and lends a beautiful, timeless look to this instrument. The original pickguard and pickups were upgraded with a loaded guard featuring Abigail Ybarra wound pickups. Abigail Ybarra is legendary for winding the pickups for Leo Fender in the old days. These pickups sound incredible! Original Pickups: The original pickguard/backplate are included. The middle pickup on this original pickguard was in need of re-winding, so was removed and replaced with a new pickup. The original middle pickup is included in the case.

In 1958 Fender modified the design of the venerable Telecaster, switching from a string-through-body bridge to a top-loading bridge. A flexible guitar with authentic Fender tone, the Vintage Custom ’58 Telecaster lets you choose either stringing method, courtesy of the Top-Load Tele bridge with period-accurate threaded steel saddles. The two-piece select ash body wears a pristine translucent Aged White Blonde NOS flash coat lacquer finish that makes it look like this instrument time-traveled from ’58 to today. The tinted riftsawn maple neck’s “U”-shaped profile fills the hand comfortably while the 7.25”-9.5”-compound-radius fingerboard flattens out as you go up the neck, making it easy to bend without fretting out, and 21 medium-vintage frets offer familiar playing feel. The pair of Hand-Wound ’58 Tele single-coil pickups are packed with authentic twang and growl, tied together with vintage-style wiring. For those who want a more modern tone, we included a Fat ‘50s Tele wiring and control assembly in the case. This beauty weighs in at a svelte 6 lbs. 5.6 oz. Other features include 3-way switch, 1-ply Eggshell pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
