Capturing the spirit of a golden-era classic, the Fender Custom Shop �57 Telecaster® Journeyman Relic combines vintage looks and tone with subtle modern refinements that make it a joy to play. Built around a resonant 2-piece select ash body and a 1-piece quarter-sawn maple neck, this guitar channels the snap, sustain and dynamic range that made the original models so iconic.
While true to its 1950s roots in feel and styling, the �57 Telecaster® Journeyman Relic features a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius and narrow-tall frets for more comfortable bends and contemporary playability. A set of Custom Shop hand-wound �58 Telecaster pickups delivers articulate vintage-style tones�from rounded neck warmth to classic Tele twang at the bridge�while vintage-style hardware and a single-ply parchment pickguard round out the period-correct aesthetic.
The Journeyman Relic finish gives it the look and feel of a well-loved instrument that�s been played in for decades, but without the excessive wear. It arrives in a deluxe hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity�just as you�d expect from Fender�s world-renowned Dream Factory.
