Overview

A masterpiece from the Tele's heyday.

The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Relic Telecaster Custom takes you back to the early years of one of modern music’s most electrifying decades. Its lightweight double-bound alder body features a Relic lacquer finish that authentically conveys the look of years of wear and tear, and signature Telecaster snap and sparkle comes from hand-wound 1963 Telecaster pickups with three-way switching and modern wiring.

Other premium features include a one-piece tinted quartersawn maple neck with a comfortable mid-’60s oval “C” profile, 9.5”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 6105 frets and bone nut, three-ply mint green pickguard and vintage hardware. Includes Custom Shop certificate of authenticity and brown textured vinyl case.
