The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition '53 Telecaster Super Heavy Relic electric guitar captures the timeless Fender sound and style in a meticulously crafted, vintage-inspired instrument. Its body is made of 2-piece offset seam ash and features a heavily distressed nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The smooth and comfortable 1-piece 2A flame maple neck is equipped with 21 narrow-tall frets and adorned with black Micarta dot inlays.
Powering the '53 Tele's rich tone are a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound single-coil pickups: an Original Blackguard Tele at the bridge and a Twisted Tele at the neck. These pickups are complemented by master volume and tone controls, as well as a 3-way pickup switch, allowing you to shape your sound with precision. The guitar also boasts vintage-style tuners with the iconic Fender logo, a 3-saddle American Vintage strings-thru-body bridge, a bone nut, and nickel/chrome hardware.
Included with the guitar is a deluxe hardshell case, a strap, and a certificate of authenticity, making it a complete package for discerning musicians seeking vintage-inspired style and tone.
