The Fender Custom Shop 60s Reverse Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Champagne Metallic offers a bold mint take on the beloved vintage Tele aesthetic. With its nitrocellulose lacquer finish and tastefully worn Journeyman Relic treatment, this guitar has the soulful look of a seasoned stage veteran, while delivering pristine, hand-crafted quality throughout. The reverse control layout adds a twist to the familiar format, making this Tele a distinctive performer?s tool built for modern players with vintage sensibilities.
Light, Resonant Alder Body with Period-Correct StyleCrafted from a select 2-piece alder body with an off-center seam, this Tele balances resonance and comfort. The reverse Nocaster bridge and traditional 7-hole tortoise pickguard combine classic lines with Custom Shop-level detail. It?s a build that doesn?t just look vintage?it feels alive, responsive, and well-worn in the best possible way.
Rift-Sawn Maple Neck and AAA Rosewood FingerboardAt the heart of the playability is a rift-sawn maple neck shaped to a 60-style "Large C" profile. Topped with a AAA rosewood fingerboard, the compound 7.25 to 9.5 inch radius and narrow tall 6105 frets provide a slick, vintage feel with modern playability.
Modern Tonal Power with Vintage CharacterThis build blends the best of old and mint with a handwound 51 Nocaster bridge pickup and a Seymour Duncan SH1 neck humbucker?both relic?d to match the aesthetic. The Dual Stack HS Tele wiring with a 3-way switch and reversed control plate gives you intuitive access to tones that cut, sing, and growl. From classic twang to thick neck-position warmth, this Tele delivers with clarity and punch.
Built for Working Guitarists and Tone EnthusiastsEvery element of this guitar reflects Fender Custom Shop?s master-level craftsmanship. From the relic?d chrome/nickel hardware to the vintage clay dot inlays and matching hard shell case, the details are deliberate, thoughtful, and performance-ready. This isn?t just a guitar?it?s a partner on stage, in the studio, and wherever inspiration hits.
