The Fender Custom Shop 1957 Telecaster Journeyman Relic (White Blonde) is a masterful blend of vintage aesthetics and modern playability. This iconic instrument features a Heavy Relic® Lacquer Finish that exudes a well-worn, vintage charm. Crafted from a 2-piece select ash body with an offset seam, the guitar delivers resonant and balanced tones. The quartersawn maple neck with a '59 Style "D" back-shape ensures a comfortable playing experience, while the flat-lam rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" to 9.5" vintage compound radius and 21 medium vintage (47095) frets offers effortless playability across the fretboard.
Equipped with Custom Shop hand-wound Troposphere Strat pickups, including a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup, this Telecaster delivers rich, articulate tones with minimal hum. The vintage modified #2 wiring with tone-saver bleed and a 5-way switch provide versatile tonal options, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles. A 9-hole single-ply parchment pickguard adds a classic touch, while the Custom Shop vintage synchronised tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines ensure excellent tuning stability and intonation. The bone nut and wing string tree with tall metal spacer further enhance the instrument's performance.
The Fender Custom Shop 1957 Telecaster Journeyman Relic comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, making it a prized addition to any guitarist's collection.
