Fender Custom Shop 51 Telecaster Heavy Relic

Description

A gorgeous 51 Tele from the Fender Custom Shop in 2016. This one is in the classic blonde finish and is a very heavy Relic finish with extensive marks and paint removal on the body and neck. It has that classic beaten up 1950s vintage guitar look to it, just beautiful. With a nice light ash body and a chunky quarter sawn maple neck this guitar has that classic early 50s vibe to it. The neck is a 51 U shape and is chunky, if you’re a fan of thin necks then best to pass on this one, it’s chunky. We’ve had this one fully set up, frets levelled and dressed and it’s playing and sounding exactly as it should. Classic vintage tones and hugely playable, easy clean bends right up the neck. This one comes with the certificate and tags but we’re supplying it in a brand new genuine G&G Fender custom shop case as the original went missing (long story involving UPS and a case swap), so the case is 100% mint and new.
