Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 50s Thinline Tele Relic - Wide Fade 2-color Sunburst

A Blend of the '50s, '60s, and Today
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '50s Thinline Tele Relic semi-hollowbody electric guitar masterfully blends three of the most important eras in the Telecaster's history. The guitar's semi-hollow body is based on the popular Thinlines of the 1960s, while features such as a '57 soft V neck profile and a hand-wound Blacktop Tele bridge pickup easily conjure the tones and feel of a 1952 machine. And the Greasebucket tone circuit, 9.5" fretboard radius, and solid rosewood neck place the '50s Thinline Tele Relic firmly in the present.

The engine that makes the Limited Edition '50s Thinline Tele Relic run is its pair of Fender Custom Shop hand-wound single-coil pickups. The neck pickup is Fender's popular "Twisted" Tele design, while the bridge pickup is a Blackguard Tele pickup that carries the sounds of the original guitars. Under the hood, these pickups are complemented with a modern Greasebucket tone circuit. This circuit completely removes the guitar's tone pot from the signal flow when turned all the way up. Sweetwater guitarists love how clear and present this makes the guitar sound.
