A '63 Relic'd Telecaster!

The Fender Custom Shop 1963 Custom Relic Telecaster solidbody electric guitar delivers authentic visuals in a highly playable modern instrument. It was in the early '60s that Telecasters were first adorned with a rosewood fretboard, and the '63 Relic Telecaster gives you the twang, bite, and vibe of the original, along with modern playability. This axe may look 50 years old, but it sports a comfortable modern 9.5" radius and 6105 frets on its mid-'60s C-shaped neck. Topped off with a pair of superb-sounding single-coil Twisted Tele pickups, the Fender Custom Shop 1963 Custom Relic Telecaster is a music time machine!

Aged design serves up a brilliant visual

Fender Custom's relic design creates an instrument that's the spittin' image of the original. Without sneaking a look at the neck heel stamps, you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish the Fender Custom Shop 1963 Custom Relic Telecaster from the real deal! A period-correct Relic lacquer finish gives the guitar a timelessness that looks like it has been loved and used for 50-plus years.

Period-correct Tele twang

The Fender Custom Shop 1963 Custom Relic Telecaster is loaded with a pair of Twisted Tele single-coil pickups that deliver the legendary Tele bite, twang, and chunk of an original early-'50s Tele with a slightly Strat-flavored twist. So if big, twangy Tele sound is your thing; the 1963 Custom Relic Telecaster is a great way to get it.

It's all about playing feel

The Fender Custom Shop 1963 Custom Relic Telecaster looks totally vintage, and it plays wonderfully. If you savor the feel of a played-in guitar with perfect fretwork and with spot-on intonation, we've got your axe right here! The 1963 Custom Relic Telecaster sports 6105 medium jumbo frets and a 9.5" radius, so you can solo and bend up high without fear of fretting out. It's the best of old and new!
