Seller's description

This Fender Custom Shop 50s Telecaster Relic combines a beautifully resonant one-piece Swamp Ash body with a classic-feeling Fender neck and a set of Twisted Tele pickups that give this Telecaster a little more versatility than a traditional vintage-spec instrument.

The result is a neck pickup that's particularly well suited to lead playing while still retaining plenty of Telecaster character.

The V is exceptionally subtle—so soft that some players may barely notice it—and the result is an extremely comfortable neck that's easy to play and control. A 9.5" fingerboard radius and 6105 frets provide a modern playing feel while retaining the chara
