Introducing: Your Dream Instrument from Fender

Every info for your decision

After Fender had to remove the name Broadcaster from its electric guitars in 1951 following a complaint, a new name was sought for the successor to the Esquire. The idea for the new name Telecaster came from Don Randall, the creative mind behind almost all Fender model names. In view of the burgeoning television age, the name seemed appropriate, as Leo Fender's former shop was the first in the area to offer televisions.
The name Telecaster appeared on the headstock of the T-style guitar from 1951 onwards, and so Fender's first solidbody electric guitar was finally given a permanent name for which it is still known today. Fender's production methods made it possible to manufacture the instruments simply and with consistent quality, but also with a different sound. The clear, long decaying sounds of the Telecaster clearly set it apart from the fat Gibson style jazz sound. The Fender Custom Shop has set itself the task of studying these high-quality vintage guitars and reproducing them down to the smallest detail. Here we have a very special Custom Shop gem for you, modelled on a Tele from the early 50s:

The Custom Shop 52 Roasted Telecaster Relic BK MBGF Masterbuilt Greg Fessler is a classic T-style electric guitar with an ash body. Ash wood was already used in the original Telecaster guitars and provides the basis for the perfect vintage sound. The body wood has been thermally treated to improve the sound of the guitar. As a result, the guitar sounds like a real vintage ‘52 Telecaster right from the start and sounds much more open. The Quatersawn Roasted Maple neck with Roasted Maple fingerboard was made from a single piece and is held in a comfortable to play Large ‘C’ profile and has a fingerboard radius of 9.5’, which gives the vintage feel a touch of modern comfort and feel. The guitar is equipped with a classic S-S pickup combination of a Fender Custom Shop Handwound ‘Twisted’ Tele single-coil in the bridge position and a Handwound Blackguard Tele single-coil in the neck position. Both pickups were personally wound by Fender's pickup expert, Josefina Campos. Other features include Fender vintage-style tuners, dome speed knobs in an aged nickel finish and a single-ply, black 5-hole pickguard.

The Custom Shop 52 Roasted Telecaster Relic BK MBGF Masterbuilt Greg Fessler is finished in a rustic aged black. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish ensures that the wood can vibrate particularly well and that the lacquer finish ages more beautifully. The most extreme of all Fender's Relic levels, Heavy Relic evokes the spirit of the most tried and worn Fender instruments in history. If you want a guitar that looks like it hasn't left your side since the dawn of rock ‘n’ roll, this is the right finish for you.

This exquisite one-off from master builder Greg Fessler comes with a certificate of authenticity in a luxurious original Fender Custom Shop case with black tolex and royal blue lining, allowing you to transport your new dream guitar safely and protect it from external influences.
