The Fender Custom Shop LiSpemited-edition ’61 Telecaster Relic is a beautiful re-creation of a well-played classic that puts the sound, feel, and looks of the '60s at your fingertips. This guitar sports the standard Tele tonewood combo of a resonant 2-piece alder body and a quarter-sawn maple/rosewood neck, outfitted with a beautiful Relic finish for a worn-in feel from day one. A Blackguard pickup in the bridge produces an authentic Tele twang that's modeled after the earliest Telecasters. Meanwhile, a Twisted Tele neck pickup delivers a Stratocaster-style smoothed out, mellow tone — it's all tied together with a Greasebucket circuit for serious tone sculpting. Plus, the modernized narrow-tall frets in a 9.5-inch radius offer a serious playability upgrade, making this Custom Shop Tele the best of both the vintage and modern worlds.
