Fender Telecaster Custom Relic (1959) - Aged Blue

From the listing

Seller's description

I am listing a bunch of guitars for friends and mentors who are less tech-savvy than I am—and I'll be selling mostly a bunch of Fenders and Taylors that were purchased as investments, rarely (if ever) played and kept in cases (acoustics with humidifiers) in a climate controlled, smoke-free, pet-free home the past couple of years.  Because I am not a professional seller or a shop, you're probably not going to get the greatest description and tech-specs in the world—but feel free to write with more questions or for photos or videos of any guitar you're interested in. This Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Custom Relic (Serial #: R118033) is a faithful late-’50s Tele reissue finished in a beautifully aged blue nitrocellulose lacquer, featuring authentic Custom Shop relic wear throughout the body, neck, and hardware. Built to capture the feel and tone of a well-played original, this guitar balances vintage correctness with exceptional playability. The guitar features an alder body paired with a maple neck and dark rosewood fingerboard, shaped to a comfortable late-’50s Tele profile. The relic treatment extends naturally across the neck, offering a broken-in feel with smooth fretboard edges and effortless playability up and down the neck. Electronics consist of Custom Shop Telecaster single-coil pickups, delivering classic Tele snap and articulation—clear, punchy highs, woody mids, and a tight, authoritative low end. Vintage-style Tele hardware, aged chrome/nickel components, and period-correct appointments complete the package. This is a killer example of a Custom Shop Telecaster that feels alive in the hands—resonant, dynamic, and inspiring whether you’re playing clean, edge-of-breakup, or fully pushed. **Note: The $125 flat-rate shipping also covers professional packaging at the UPS Store, to ensure your guitar is properly-packed—Reverb's efforts to 'calculate shipping' have proven very inaccurate.
