Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom - heavy relic tahitian coral o. 3-color sunburst

Based on the platform of an early Sixties model, the FENDER Custom Shop Time Machine 1960 Telecaster Custom Heavy Relic Aged Tahitian Coral Over Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst (9236080901) is a reinterpretation of the typical 1960s Telecaster. In its Custom version, it is immediately recognizable thanks to the elegant binding around the edges of the body. Solid-body electric guitar, two-piece "sort for lightweight" Alder body, bolt-on neck in "quarter-cut" Maple (Large C profile), "sort for dark" Rosewood fingerboard (narrow-tall frets, radius 9.5"), Custom Shop hand-wound '58 Telecaster pickups. Sold with Fender Custom Shop hardshell case, strap, certificate of authenticity.

The Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar Precision Bass or Jazz Bass are legendary electrics that are an integral part of the history of amplified music, having amply contributed to its expansion and democratization.
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...
