Key Features
Product Ref: 331622
Vintage Craftsmanship and Aesthetic
The Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic '64 Telecaster in Aged Black is a masterful recreation of the iconic mid-60s Telecaster Custom, meticulously crafted to deliver vintage aesthetics, authentic tone, and exceptional playability.
This guitar features a two-piece select alder body adorned with period-correct parchment binding, finished in a heavy relic nitrocellulose lacquer that authentically simulates decades of wear and tear. The aged black finish, combined with the meticulous relic treatment, offers a visually striking instrument that exudes the character of a well-loved vintage guitar.
Neck and Fingerboard
The neck is crafted from AA flame quartersawn maple, shaped into a comfortable '60s-style oval "C" profile, and finished with a tinted nitrocellulose lacquer for a smooth, broken-in feel. Topped with a round-laminated AAA dark rosewood fingerboard, it features a 9.5" radius and 21 narrow tall frets, facilitating effortless playability across the fretboard.
Electronics and Hardware
Equipped with a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound Twisted Tele single-coil pickups, this Telecaster delivers a versatile tonal palette, from bright, cutting highs to warm, articulate lows. The modern wiring setup includes a Greasebucket tone circuit, allowing players to roll off highs without adding bass, maintaining clarity and definition. Additional features include a three-way pickup selector, vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, and a '64-'66 bridge with threaded steel saddles, all contributing to the guitar's authentic vintage feel and performance.
Included Accessories
The Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic '64 Telecaster comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case, a strap, and a certificate of authenticity, ensuring that this instrument is both a collector's piece and a reliable workhorse for professional musicians.
Specifications:
This instrument is a testament to Fender's commitment to quality and tradition, offering players a chance to experience the look, feel, and sound of a classic 1964 Telecaster Custom.
