Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Telecaster at a Glance:
  • Maple neck with soft "V" shape offer vintage vibe
  • Custom Shop pickups give you big Tele tone
  • Relic finish and hardware for that aged look
Maple neck with soft "V" shape offer vintage vibe

Leo Fender wasn't a guitar player. In fact, he got his start repairing radios. So he had no idea that guitars weren't supposed to have maple necks. In time, those blond maple necks and fingerboards became a Fender trademark, though the company eventually offered rosewood fingerboards on most of its models. The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Telecaster has a maple neck with a soft '57 "V" profile making it a fast playing neck with a little extra bite. The 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets give the 1959 Heavy Relic Tele great feel and vibe.

Custom Shop pickups give you big Tele tone

The original Tele pickups had more twang than any "normal" guitar, thanks to the single coil pickups in the bridge and neck positions. The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Telecaster sports a Twisted Tele rhythm pickup and a Nocaster bridge pickup. On top of the custom pickups, the 1959 Heavy Relic Tele is wired with a special 4-position blade switch. This custom configuration gives you tonal options ranging from classic Tele to parallel and series two pickup combinations for extra fat tones with a punch.

Relic finish and hardware for that aged look

As you can imagine, a true 1959 Tele would show signs of wear and tear, and the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Telecaster is finished to represent those years of playing. The worn finish on the body and neck, and the aged and slightly rusty hardware will make you wonder if it really isn't a true vintage guitar. The Nocaster and Twisted Tele pickups will give you massive tone. The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Telecaster is sure to please even the pickiest of guitar lovers.

Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Telecaster Features:
  • Vintage vibe and aged looks in a Custom Shop Tele
  • Smooth playing maple neck with soft V shape and medium jumbo frets
  • Custom Shop pickups for spanky Tele tone
  • Heavy relic finish for that aged and well-played vibe

Bring the Fender Custom Shop vibe to your collection with the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Telecaster.
