Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '50s Twisted Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic, Aged Tahitian Coral
Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '50s Twisted Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic, Aged Tahitian Coral
Straight out of the lauded FCS comes this Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '50s Twisted Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic. It's a lot to say (and type), but boy is it easy on the eyes! These Telecasters of the '50s and beyond need no introduction—if you don't play one you know someone who does.
This Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '50s Twisted Telecaster starts with a 2-piece ash body a la Fender's original '52 Tele design. The ash is sorted for light weight to keep it nice and comfortable on the strap. Around the whole of the top and back is parchment body binding for a touch of vintage class and style. Anchoring everything on top is a reverse Nocaster bridge with compensated brass saddles promoting great sustain and killer intonation.
The neck and fretboard are a dream of gorgeous, flamed maple with an unfinished neck back for supremely smooth navigation. The depth of the neck goes from .850" at the first fret to a fairly substantial .990" at the twelfth fret. Coupled with the 7.25"-9.50" compound radius, this keeps string spacing even all the way up the neck and keeps bends from buzzing out as you move up. The 6105 (Narrow Tall) frets are another modern upgrade giving you not-so-vintage-but-not-quite-jumbo playability.
This Tele is loaded with two hand-wired Twisted Tele single coil pickups, the bridge of which is reverse angled to add a bit of beef on the treble side and some spank on the lower strings. The whole package is configured with a hot-rodded Fat '50s wiring with master volume and tone knobs and a 3-way toggle to take you from vintage Tele goodness and up through more modernized tones.
The FCS Journeyman relic job is subtle and understated giving you the feeling of getting a vintage instrument that was well taken care of and waiting for you over the decades. Some checking and dings are present throughout with some aged dulling of the hardware with only moderate playwear. Lucky you!
This FCS Twisted Tele Custom ships complete with Tele/Strat tweed hardshell.
