A relic'd Tele that blends vintage mojo with modern versatility.
For players who crave the vibe and tone of a hard-gigging vintage Tele, the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '70s Tele Custom Relic delivers an impeccably crafted recreation. Every detail has been painstakingly aged by the skilled builders at Fender's esteemed Custom Shop to replicate a beloved '70s instrument with decades of playing under its belt.
Relic Aging Captures Decades of Vibe
The foundation of this Tele's vintage appeal lies in its relic'd ash body and maple neck. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish has been meticulously aged to a rich patina with countless dings, chips and checking marks. The quartersawn maple neck has been artificially worn to a smooth, road-worn feel. Even the bone nut and rosewood fingerboard have been artificially aged to achieve the perfect vintage vibe right out of the case.
Timeless Craftsmanship and Playability
Beyond its relic'd look and feel, the '70s Tele Custom Relic benefits from Fender's timeless craftsmanship. The round-laminated 3A rosewood fingerboard offers the warmth and sustain that have made Teles a studio staple for generations. The vintage-style butt adjust truss rod and Schaller tuners keep everything solid and stable. The 25.5" scale length and narrow tall frets provide the effortless playability you'd expect from a top-tier Tele.
Dual Pickups Deliver Classic Tones and More
When you plug this relic'd Tele in, you'll experience the full spectrum of classic Fender tones. A hand-wound Twisted Tele single-coil in the bridge cranks out the bright, twangy bite that's defined genres from country to rock. The neck position houses a CuNiFe Wide Range humbucker, adding warmth and punch while opening new tonal territory. Dial in a blend of both pickups for muscular rhythm tones. With individual volume and tone controls, you can easily sculpt your ideal sound.
Deluxe Fender Appointments
The '70s Tele Custom Relic leaves no detail overlooked in achieving authentic vintage style. The 3-saddle vintage-style bridge sports slotted steel saddles, while the 3-ply black/white/black pickguard adds classic Tele visual flair. Skirted black plastic control knobs with numbered indicators offer a premium feel. This limited edition even comes protected in a deluxe hardshell case, complete with a strap and certificate of authenticity.
