Seller's description

Introducing the latest addition to the Fender Custom Shop lineup for 2024: the 1959 Telecaster Journeyman Relic. This exquisite instrument pays homage to a specific era in Telecaster history, capturing the essence of its unique features and appointments. Crafted with a two-piece select ash body, aged to perfection with a Journeyman Relic flashcoat lacquer finish in the iconic Natural Blonde colour, this Telecaster embodies timeless elegance. Its one-piece rift sawn maple neck and single ply parchment pickguard further enhance its classic aesthetic, ensuring it stands out as a true vintage-inspired gem. Underneath its vintage exterior lies a powerhouse of tone. Equipped with a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special pickups and Fat '50s wiring, this Telecaster not only looks the part but also delivers lively, responsive tones bursting with the full-range Tele character. Whether you're strumming at home, jamming with friends, or playing a weekend gig, this guitar is sure to inspire. The Journeyman Relic finish tells a story of gentle use and care over the years, with subtle signs of ageing adding to its character. From its "friendly" down-to-the-wood nicks and dings to its dullish hardware and moderate playing wear, each imperfection adds to its charm, making it a truly special find for any enthusiast. Key features include a comfortable Large "C" neck profile, a 9.5" radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, and a versatile 3-way switch for effortless tone shaping. The top-load/strings-through-body bridge with threaded steel saddles ensures optimal resonance and sustain, while vintage-style tuning machines offer reliable performance. Every detail, from the bone nut to the wing string tree, has been meticulously crafted to honour the Telecaster legacy. And with the inclusion of a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, this guitar is ready to accompany you on your musical journey.
