FENDER USA Custom Shop LTD 58 Telecaster Journeyman Relic "HLE Gold + Maple"
Over the years, the Telecaster has evolved with updates to its components, colors, neck shapes, and more, yet it has consistently maintained its iconic appearance and distinctive snappy tone. The '58 Telecaster Journeyman Relic captures many of these classic features in a meticulously crafted custom recreation. It features a two-piece select ash body finished with a subtly aged Journeyman Relic lacquer, providing the aesthetic and tactile experience of a well-loved, played-in guitar.
The one-piece quartersawn maple neck boasts a 10/56 "V" profile, a 9.5" fingerboard radius, and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, ensuring both playability and comfort.
Equipped with dual Custom Shop hand-wound '58 Tele pickups, alongside Fat '50s Tele wiring and a three-way switch, this instrument produces the rich, robust Tele tone and transparent bloom characteristic of the model. Additional elements include a single-ply parchment pickguard, a period-correct top-load/string-through Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, and a wing string tree. The guitar is presented in a deluxe hardshell case, complete with a strap and a certificate of authenticity, highlighting its premium craftsmanship and heritage.
