Fender Custom Shop Telecaster 1959 Relic

Description

I was delighted to get my hands on this 59 Relic Tele from the Fender Custom Shop. This example has a 10″ radius, medium jumbo frets and a 65 C Strat neck shape with a lovely AAA rosewood board. A great combo of classic Tele tones with a more Strat like feel to the neck and playability. The 10″ radius and medium jumbo frets make it super playable and we’ve set it up perfectly so it has a great action. There is plenty of lively woody twang to this guitar unplugged, quite satisfying to play it unplugged in fact. But fire it up and it sounds amazing, a great pickup combo and just an awesome guitar.
