Seller's description

The Fender Custom Shop 1958 Top-Load Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Faded Surf Green captures a unique moment in Telecaster history; a design that subtly shifts the feel and response while keeping everything players love about a late '50s build. It is made for those who appreciate the nuances of vintage instruments, where small changes translate into a different connection between your hands and the guitar. Built from a lightweight, sorted two-piece ash body, this Tele delivers the crisp attack, airy resonance, and balanced tone that define the era.

The top-load bridge design adds a slightly softer, more elastic string feel, while still offering the option for string-through setup, making it easy to dial in your preferred response. The hand-wound '58 Telecaster pickups deliver classic tone with plenty of dynamic range. The neck pickup is warm and open with a woody clarity that works beautifully for clean passages, while the bridge pickup brings the signature Tele bite and snap with a smooth, controlled edge. Paired with vintage-style wiring, the controls are straightforward and responsive, letting your playing dictate the sound. The quartersawn maple neck features a '57 Soft V profile that feels substantial without being bulky, naturally fitting into the hand for both rhythm and lead work. A 9.5 inch radius and narrow tall frets bring a modern touch to the playing experience, allowing for smooth bends and comfortable action while maintaining a vintage-inspired feel.
