The guitar had hollow “wings” on either side of the body, with an f-hole on the bass side for a brilliant new look and warmly resonant tone. The ’68 Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic captures that year’s model in all its brilliance, with a few custom modifications including a Bigsby® B5 bridge and tailpiece for added vibrato. A semi-hollow Thinline Kalamazoo mahogany body wears a perfectly worn-in Journeyman Relic lacquer finish. The rift-sawn maple neck features a ’60s-style “oval C” profile, 9.5”-radius rift-sawn maple fingerboard and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustom Shop hand-wound Twisted Tele® pickups provide extra-hot output for beautiful resonance and are hooked up to modern Telecaster wiring and three-way switch. Other features include a three-ply white pearl pickguard, Schaller® “F” tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMODEL NUMBER: 9235001566\u003cbr\u003eSERIES: Time Machine\u003cbr\u003eCOLOR: Aged Natural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBODY FINISH: Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBODY SHAPE: Telecaster\u003cbr\u003eBODY MATERIAL: 1-Piece Vintage Michigan Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNECK MATERIAL: Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003eNECK FINISH: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNECK SHAPE: 1960 Oval \"C\"\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD RADIUS: 9.5\" (241 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD MATERIAL: Round-Lam Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003eNUMBER OF FRETS: 21\u003cbr\u003eFRET SIZE: Narrow Tall (6105)\u003cbr\u003eNUT WIDTH: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003ePOSITION INLAYS: Micarta Black Dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBRIDGE: Bigsby B5 Bridge and Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003eTUNING MACHINES: Schaller \"F\"\u003cbr\u003ePICKGUARD: 3-Ply White Pearl\u003cbr\u003eCONTROL KNOBS: Knurled Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: Custom Shop Hand-Wound Twisted Tele Single-Coil\u003cbr\u003eNECK PICKUP: Custom Shop Hand-Wound Twisted Tele Single-Coil\u003cbr\u003eCONTROLS: Volume, Tone\u003cbr\u003eSWITCHING: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
