Overview

A comfortable neck, 1963 pickups and lots of stories to tell.

The Fender 1963 Telecaster Relic Electric Guitar is as good as owning the real thing. Given the relic treatment by Fender master builders, this one looks and feels like an old friend. It has an alder body with a nitrocellulose finish and above-mentioned treatment. The maple neck has a comfortable mid-'60s oval profile and a rosewood fretboard with vintage-style frets.

The sound is true to the year thanks to a 1963 Tele pickups at the neck and bridge. This authentic model comes complete with a sweet assortment of accessories and a nice hardshell case.
