Fender Custom Shop Tele '52 Telecaster Nocaster HB Relic 3T Sunburst Guitar

This is a Fender Custom Shop Tele '52 Telecaster Nocaster HB Relic 3T Sunburst Guitar.   Featuring Fender's heavy relic treatment, the 1952 electric guitar has the look of many years of hard use on the road. The Telecaster 3-Color Sunburst finish, premium ash body wood has great tone and is lightweight for playing comfort. The maple, soft V-shaped neck has the slightly played-in feel. A traditional maple fingerboard sports black dot inlays, 21 smaller 6105 frets and heavy wear. Custom NoCaster® Vintage Tele® Single-Coil Pickup and a Seymour Duncan® '59 Humbucking Pickup neck pickup with three-way switching has the sought-after sound of yesterday with the benefits of modern wiring. The Fender guitar has vintage hardware, a black 1-ply pickguard and Original Vintage Tele Bridge with 3 Brass Saddles complete the dream.

Highlights
This Fender Custom Shop Tele boasts an ash body with a lacquer finish. The tinted 1-piece quartersawn maple neck is wrapped with a polyurethane finish and sports a "V" shape. The single-ply pickguard and 3-way pickup switch with one single-coil pickup and a '59 Humbucking Pickup in the neck.

Heavy Relic Treatment - What's the deal???
As a member of the Fender Custom Shop Time Machine Series, this Tele is treated with the Heavy Relic treatment. This means the instrument is finished to resemble an instrument that has enjoyed a long life of heavy use. This includes significant wear and tear to the finish, dings & nicks to the body, neck, and headstock, and aged hardware. The end result is an instrument that looks like it's been around for a while and plays like a broken-in instrument.  After playing one of the Heavy Relic Time Machine Teles there is no other way to go.  Just like your favorite old pair of jeans it just feels right.

Classic feel and tone with the '52 Heavy Relic Tele!
