Get your Fender Custom Shop 1961 Relic Telecaster at Humbucker Music, a proud Custom Shop Showcase Dealer with many guitars for sale and in stock now! The Telecaster was in high demand in the early 1960s, with new custom colors and a flat slab rosewood fingerboard. Once thought to be eventually phased out after the arrival of the Jazzmaster (1958) and before the Jaguar (1962), it became clear to Fender that the Telecaster was destined to stay. After countless stage and studio appearances throughout the decades, its design purity, workhorse simplicity and distinctively snappy tone remain as vital as ever today This 1961 Telecaster Relic honors that year’s model, with original features and a few slight modifications to improve the overall playing experience. The two-piece select alder body has a Thin Relic lacquer finish and three-ply nitro mint green pickguard. The quartersawn maple neck has a comfortable oval-C profile and smooth unfinished back for streamlined feel and seamless play, topped by a 9.5" radius flat-lam rosewood fretboard with 21 narrow tall frets. A combination of a Handwound "OBG" Original Blackguard in the bridge and a Handwound  Twisted Tele in the neck serves up a smooth and spicy Tele tone, and modern Tele wiring with Greasebucket tone circuit lets players roll off highs while preserving midrange tone and without adding bass. Other features include a '60 Telecaster bridge with Compensated Brass saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and a "wing" string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
