Seller's description

Serial Number: CZ568685 Instrument Weight: 7.22 lbs Neck Depth: This Fender Custom Shop LTD 1953 Telecaster Heavy Relic captures the raw character and unmistakable tone of early Blackguard Teles with meticulous Custom Shop craftsmanship. Finished in a beautifully aged Nocaster Blonde lacquer, the lightweight 2-piece ash body delivers classic Tele snap, clarity, and resonance. The AAA flame quarter-sawn maple neck features a comfortable ’54 “U” profile, compound 7.25"–9.5" radius, and 6105 frets, offering a perfect balance of vintage feel and modern playability. A pair of Hand-Wound pickups — Twisted Tele neck and Original Blackguard bridge — provide authentic early-’50s Tele tones with punchy attack, rich mids, and sparkling highs. Vintage-style hardware, a Nocaster bridge, and Heavy Relic treatment complete the look and feel of a well-loved original, making this a standout Custom Shop Tele built for players who appreciate true vintage-inspired tone and vibe.
