The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition Cunife Tele Custom Heavy Relic electric guitar provides an authentic vintage tone and feel. It features a heavily distressed alder body and maple neck for resonant tone. The Reverse Nocaster bridge and hand-wound '51 Nocaster single-coil pickup deliver the unmistakable twang that Teles are known for. The Wide-Range CuNiFe humbucking neck pickup provides warmer tones when you need them.

Roasted Body and Neck Provide Stability and Tone

The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition Cunife Tele Custom Heavy Relic is built with a two-piece select roasted alder body and a roasted quartersawn maple neck. The roasting process chemically stabilizes the wood to prevent warping while enhancing its tonal qualities. The guitar resonates with a warm, balanced tone and the neck remains straight and true through environmental changes.

Vintage-Accurate Parts With Modern Versatility

This Tele is equipped with vintage-style tuners, a reverse Nocaster bridge and brass saddles for authentic Fender tone. The hand-wound loaded '51 Nocaster single-coil pickup provides the classic bright and articulate Tele spank. In the neck position, a CuNiFe humbucker delivers a warmer, fuller tone with overtones of a PAF. A three-way toggle switch lets you select the bridge pickup, neck pickup or both.

Road-Worn Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish

The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition Cunife Tele Custom Heavy Relic is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer and heavily reliced to emulate decades of use. The finish is worn through to the wood in areas, with dings, dents and scratches throughout. The lacquer yellows and checks over time, developing a patina like that of a true vintage instrument.

Premium Add-Ons

This Custom Shop Tele comes with a deluxe hardshell case to protect your investment. A custom strap and certificate of authenticity are also included, verifying it is an official Fender Custom Shop instrument.
