The Fender Custom Shop '60s Telecaster Heavy Relic/Closet Classic Mix is a classic Tele all the way through. The alder body even sports a color-over-color paint job and nitro finish, for the look of a vintage guitar that's been repainted once or twice. The custom neck is choice AAA flame maple, unfinished for a well-worn feel. Many guitar collectors like the Heavy Relic look, but even more players get these guitars because they feel so comfortable and broken-in.
Closet Classic hardware for vintage looks and reliable performanceThe Heavy Relic look naturally calls for highly distressed hardware, but many players prefer the smoother feel of Fender's Closet Classic hardware. This hardware is slightly aged for a vintage look, but not to the point that it feels rough on your hand while palm muting near the bridge.
Versatile pickup combinationTeles have always been known for their sonic flexibility, and the Fender Custom Shop '60s Telecaster Heavy Relic/Closet Classic Mix doesn't disappoint.
