The artisans at the Fender Custom Shop created a Tele lover's dream: the Limited Edition '50s Vibra Tele Heavy Relic, the crème de la crème of Tele guitars.
They started with a '50/'51 Blackguard single-coil bridge pickup, then added two of the most popular, time-tested Tele mods: a Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece and a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbucking neck pickup.
Placed directly at the seventh harmonic for perfect, balanced tone, this pickup adds a unique note to the traditional Tele twang.
Dual Stack HS Tele wiring ensures the pickups play nicely with each other, from an electrical standpoint; dual-stack 250k and 500k potentiometers guarantee each pickup operates at optimum resistance.
The two-piece select ash body wears a thin Heavy Relic lacquer finish, giving it the look of an instrument that’s spent its life being played onstage.
The one-piece tinted quartersawn maple neck has a '57 Soft V profile and a 9.
5" radius fingerboard with 21 #6105 frets for a contemporary playing feel.
Other features include 3-way switching, period-correct Black phenolic pickguard, 21 narrow-tall frets, vintage-style tuning machines with Fender logo, bone nut and disc string tree.
Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity (re-issued by Fender via Guitar Center.
