Fender Custom Shop 2020 '61 Tele Relic Aged Olympic White
This guitar was a NAMM 2020 show guitar, it featured at the show and comes with a special NAMM show guitar certificate.
The Fender Custom Shop do some pretty special things, and with the Custom Shop '61 Telecaster they hark right back to the early days of Leo Fenders vision.
A traditional Alder body is completed with the classic Aged Olympic White finish. The '61 Tele has a unique relic'd nitro finish, this gives the look and feel of a vintage guitar but with all the tone and playability of a modern one. This finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. It also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively compared with other finishes.
The Quarter Sawn Maple neck has a smooth, authentic, vintage feel. With a 9.50" radius, 60's style oval C profile, AAA Rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets and a 25.5"scale length, it's a real joy to play.
With the Telecaster design being considered by many to be the original workhorse guitar, the Custom Shop '61 Telecaster needs a pickup pairing that can deliver the classic Tele' twang. With a pair of Texas Special’s it does just this. Boasting a versatile and well balanced selection.
