This 2022 Fender Custom Shop LTD ‘53 Tele Heavy Relic embodies everything you could desire in a Telecaster! It's stunning, sweet, and pristine, yet can also unleash a gritty and fierce sound when called upon. It responds effortlessly to your touch, allowing you to coax out a wide range of tones. Crafted with a lightweight Ash body and finished in the classic Aged Nocaster Blonde nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar delivers pure Telecaster twang and spank courtesy of the hand-wound "OGB" Original Blackguard bridge pickup. The hand-wound Twisted Tele neck pickup adds a touch of richness, sparkle, and bell-like clarity with a full bass response and crisp treble notes. The special "Fat 50s Tele" wiring, complete with Master Volume and Tone Controls, ensures that every note sounds as good as it should, granting you the control needed to captivate your audience night after night.
