Description

Fender's Custom Shop 1958 Telecaster Journeyman Relic pays homage to the Tele's of yesteryear, with its gorgeous relic'd finish, hand-wound pickups, and comfy quartersawn maple neck. If you've been on the hunt for a premium vintage-inspired Fender, this Custom Shop '58 Tele is sure to satisfy.

This Telecaster features a two-piece select ash body, giving it a sweet, resonant sound with tight lows and a pronounced midrange. This particular Tele weighs in at a comfy 7 lbs. 5.4 oz., making it an ideal candidate for extended performances and practice sessions. Players who love a thicker, chunkier neck profile will appreciate this '58 Telecaster's 10/56 "V" shaped neck, which feels great for playing rock 'n' roll riffs and chugging rhythm lines. And, with its gorgeous Journeyman Relic finish that gives it the look and feel of a well-loved, decades-old axe, this Tele is nearly indistinguishable from a genuine vintage Fender.

Powering this beauty is a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound '58 Tele pickups that churn out a robust Tele tone with plenty of twang on tap. Thanks to their Fat '50s wiring, these pickups deliver crisp, clear highs even with the volume rolled down, and each note has a gorgeous, transparent bloom. Just plug this Tele into an old-school tube amp, crank the volume, and you'll transcend straight to tone heaven.

Complete with a period-correct top-load/string-through Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, and a striking wide fade 3-color sunburst finish, this Fender Custom Shop 1958 Telecaster Journeyman Relic is excellent for gigging pros, avid collectors, and classic guitar enthusiasts alike.
