Overview

A meticulously crafted Custom Shop Tele with hand-wound pickups and vintage vibe.

The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition HS Telecaster Custom Relic captures the look, feel and iconic sound that made the Telecaster a legend. This meticulously crafted guitar pairs premium tonewoods with hand-wound pickups and classic Tele appointments, delivering vintage-inspired vibe with thoroughly modern playability. Whether you're a studio session pro or weekend warrior, the HS Telecaster Custom Relic will inspire you to create.

Relic Finish Channels a Road-Worn Vintage Vibe

With its custom relic lacquer finish, the HS Telecaster instantly channels that broken-in, road-worn vintage mojo right out of the case. From the aged charcoal frost metallic body to the roasted AAA flame maple neck, every surface exhibits tasteful checking, discoloration and hardware oxidation that can only come from years of heavy gigging. Even the clay dot inlays are yellowed to perfection. Just strap on this Tele and feel the inspiration of a true working musician's instrument.

Premium Tonewoods Deliver Resonant, Articulate Tone

Beyond its relic'd aesthetic, the HS Telecaster is constructed from an elite selection of tonewoods to ensure premium sound and playability. The roasted AAA flame maple neck provides a stiff yet resonant foundation with excellent note articulation. The flat-lam rosewood fingerboard feels smooth and even under your fingers. And the 2-piece select ash body contributes punchy, dynamic tone with a focused midrange. Together, these premium woods produce the sweet, singing sustain and touch responsiveness that made the Telecaster a legend.

Hand-Wound Pickups Supply Authentic Vintage Tele Tones

Complementing the premium woods is a bespoke set of hand-wound Custom Shop pickups. The Texas Special single-coil in the bridge position captures the quintessential Tele twang. It has a robust, articulate attack with just the right amount of midrange grind. Dial in thicker, creamier tones by selecting the Paul Waller-designed humbucker in the neck position. Its punchy, vocal-like quality is ideal for lead lines and blues soloing. A 3-position blade switch makes it easy to access these distinct pickup voices.

Classic Tele Appointments Retain Iconic Feel and Vibe

While the HS Telecaster Custom Relic captures a vintage vibe, it still retains the iconic feel and appointments that made the Tele a legend. The 25.5" scale length, bone nut and vintage-style tuners provide classic intonation and stable tuning. The narrow-tall frets allow effortless bending without fretting out. And the 3-saddle vintage Tele bridge supplies the twangy "snap" that put Telecasters on countless iconic recordings. Even the 3-ply black pickguard and knurled chrome knobs are period-correct appointments.
