Tel shape electric guitar

Unique copy bearing the serial number R131281. Net weight (without case): 3.50 kg.

Elaborated from a "1952 Telecaster Base Model" die, the FENDER Custom Shop Time Machine 1952 Telecaster Journeyman Relic #R131281 (9235001558) is the reinterpretation of the original early fifties model, ideally combining a majority of strictly vintage features with a few more current ones.

Solid body electric guitar, "sort for lightweight" two-piece Ash body, bolt-on neck and rift-sawn Maple fingerboard (profile '57 Soft V, narrow-tall frets, hybrid radius 7.25/9.5"), Custom Shop Hand-wound '50/51 Blackguard Tele hand-wound pickups. Sold with Fender Custom Shop case, strap, certificate of authenticity .

The ideal would be to be the proud owner of an original from the 50s or 60s, but the price of vintage instruments is so high that it's difficult for anyone to get access to them. Concerning the Relic finish: the dealers present at NAMM 1995 were totally blown away by the level of realism of the first two Relic models that Fender presented to them that year. Despite being vintage connoisseurs, they mistook them for genuine Fender originals (a '51 Nocaster and a '56 Mary Kaye Stratocaster).
The early-aging process is now fully mastered, and accounts for the bulk of Custom Shop sales...
