Overview

Vintage-correct appointments including oval C-shaped neck and handwound pickups.

The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Relic Telecaster Custom looks like an old friend with an alder body dressed in a relic'd candy tangerine finish, and the elegant top and back binding that is the early-'60s hallmark of the instrument.

Pure Telecaster snap and sparkle comes from a pair of hand-wound Twisted Tele and '63 Tele pickups, and the quartersawn maple neck is sculpted with a comfortable early-'60s oval C profile. Other premium features include a 9.5"-radius dark Indian rosewood fingerboard with 21 6105 frets, three-way pickup switch with aged white top hat tip, three-ply mint green pickguard, '63 Tele bridge and Vintage tuning machines. Includes hardshell case.
