Fender Custom Shop 1961 Relic Telecaster Custom
This ’61 Tele Custom has a vintage vibe and feel with upgraded playability and features!
The Custom Telecaster became an instant classic back in the early 60’s with it’s double-bound body and striking appearance. These features gave the Tele a more sophisticated look and this 2012 Custom Shop Time Machine Series rendition of the ’61 Tele Custom is one of the most sophisticated yet. It combines some the most requested custom specs Fender offers like a Relic finish, the new Twisted Tele pickup set, a #3 “C” shaped neck with a dark Indian rosewood fingerboard, taller 6105 frets, a 9.5 fingerboard radius and modern switching. The guitar is lightweight, resonant and alive with tone. It practically plays itself! You have to admit- this version with it’s tuxedo-inspired Black finish and White Binding is pretty snazzy as well.
