Overview

A lightweight body, compound radius fretboard and handwound pickups.

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition NAMM 2016 Custom Built Postmodern Journeyman Relic Telecaster is a winning combination of classic features and modern functionality. It has a lightweight okoume body with a natural tint on the back and sides along with body binding on the top. The tinted quarter-sawn maple neck has a contoured heel, a mid-'60s oval C profile and a compound radius fretboard (9.5"–12") for modern playability. Electronics feature Handwound Texas Special pickups with modern wiring and Grease Bucket Circuit. Hardware includes an RSD Tele bridge, vintage tuners and a Limited Edition neckplate. It's available in a Journeyman Relic lacquer finish, which imparts the appearance of years of aging and light use without heavy wear and tear. Comes with hardshell case.
