Fender Custom Shop Telecaster 58 Heavy Relic Red Sparkle

Description

Very unusual to find a Relic Tele in this colour. This wonderful heavy relic 58 Telecaster certainly stands out in this amazing finish. This example from 2008 is a very heavy Relic finish with plenty of factory wear marks. The traveller document does mention the very extensive heavy relic work. If you like very heavy relic finishes then you’ll love this Tele. A light and very resonant guitar that oozes vintage character. The lacquer on the neck is a super thin coat with the neck back nicely stripped, it’s silky smooth and a dream to play. The neck shape is a very comfy soft V which feels great. The sound of the guitar, with it’s custom shop hand wound pickups is just as you’d expect from a classic vintage relic Tele like this. Great tones and the usual versatility. Presented in the original tweed case with tags and certificate. This lovely guitar has been used (not surprisingly, it’s too good to put down) but remains is excellent condition and is ready to rock!
