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.
