2018 Fender Custom Shop 60’s Telecaster Relic

Summary: This is a 1960 Relic Telecaster. Its relic’d lacquer finish gives you the look and feel of a guitar that’s been used and abused for decades. And it sounds like it, too, thanks to a set of ’63 single-coil pickups. From the first strum, you’ll experience all the twang and grind you can handle. You will be impressed by the incredible vibration and sustain, courtesy of this tele’s maple neck, while you enjoy its easy-playing 9.5″-radius AAA rosewood fingerboard. This 1960 Relic Tele includes vintage-style tuners and relic’d chrome/nickel hardware.
