Seller's description

Serial Number: R147377 Instrument Weight: 6.88 lbs Neck Depth: .87-1.00 This Fender Custom Shop 1958 Top Loader Telecaster Journeyman Relic that captures a unique transitional moment in Tele history—blending classic blackguard DNA with the distinct feel and response of a top-load bridge design. Finished in Faded Surf Green over a lightweight 2-piece ash body, this guitar has a vibrant, broken-in look with tasteful relic work that gives it the feel of a well-loved original. The top-load/string-through bridge adds a slightly softer attack and a more elastic feel under the fingers, making bends effortless while still retaining that unmistakable Tele snap and clarity. Paired with hand-wound ’58 Tele pickups, it delivers articulate highs, punchy lows, and a woody midrange that responds beautifully to dynamics—perfect for everything from clean country tones to gritty blues and rock. The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable ’57 soft “V” profile, offering a substantial yet ergonomic grip that feels instantly familiar. A modern 9.5" radius and narrow tall frets provide smooth playability across the board, making this Tele equally at home for chord work and lead playing. Vintage-style hardware, classic appointments, and Custom Shop craftsmanship round it out, but it’s the feel that really sets this one apart. Lightweight, resonant, and incredibly responsive, this is a Telecaster that invites you to dig in and play—built with the soul of the late ’50s and the performance to match.
