Reverse 50s Twang With Custom Shop Soul
Take everything you love about a great 50s Tele, flip the script, and you land on this Limited Edition Reverse 50s Telecaster Relic. Lightweight ash, hand wound Blackguard pickups, reverse hardware, and a chunky soft V neck add up to a guitar that feels broken in, rings like crazy, and cuts with that classic Fender snap and grit.
At 6.8 lbs, it is the kind of Tele you can wear for a three hour set without thinking about it, but the body still has plenty of resonance and bloom. Real talk, this is one of those Custom Shop pieces that makes you want to keep playing long after you planned to stop.
Lightweight Ash Body And Aged Cimarron Red Relic
The 2 piece off center ash body is classic Fender tone wood with a twist. That ash gives you fast attack, clear mids, and glassy top end, while the off center seam keeps the body strong and resonant without adding weight.
The Aged Cimarron Red relic finish is pure vibe. The thin lacquer and tasteful wear let the body breathe in a way thick modern finishes just do not, so you get more acoustic volume, more sustain, and a livelier feel under your picking hand. It looks like a road worn favorite, but it is brand new and ready for a lifetime of miles.
57 Soft V Neck That Feels Broken In
This neck is the star of the show if you are a feel junkie. Rift sawn maple keeps things stable and musical, and the 57 style soft V profile with custom thickness of .940 inches at the first fret to 1.000 inches at the 12th gives you a big handful of wood without feeling like a baseball bat.
The unfinished relic back takes the stick out of glossy lacquer, so your hand glides effortlessly up and down the neck. The 7.25 to 9.50 inch compound radius and 21 medium vintage frets hit that sweet spot where cowboy chords feel vintage familiar, but bends up high stay smooth and buttery with clean intonation.
Hand Wound Blackguard Bite And Reverse Hardware Tricks
Both pickups are hand wound 50 to 51 Blackguard units, and they deliver exactly what you want from a serious Tele: tight low end, throaty mids, and high end that can sparkle and cut without getting ice picky. They are super touch responsive, so you can go from glassy clean to gritty roar just by changing your pick attack and rolling the volume knob.
The reverse angle Nocaster bridge shifts the way the strings sit over the pickup. Treble strings get a little more meat and warmth, while the bass strings tighten up for better note definition when you really dig in. Paired with the reverse 51 mod Nocaster controls and Electro Socket jack, you get a layout that feels intuitive on stage and is built to take a beating without getting flaky.
Custom Shop Craftsmanship You Can Actually Gig
This is pure Fender Custom Shop: rift sawn neck, bone nut, vintage Fender logo tuners, 52 style parchment guard, and relic work that looks and feels honest. It has that boutique attention to detail you expect from builders who live and breathe this stuff, but nothing is so precious that you would be scared to take it to a club gig.
Plugged in, it records like a dream and sits perfectly in a mix, whether you are chasing clean chime or pushed amp grind. And when the night is over, it goes back into a Fender Custom Shop tweed case that fits the guitar as nicely as the guitar fits your hands.
