Description
The 1957 Telecaster Journeyman Relic is another stellar Fender Custom Shop creation that gives players and authentically aged, faithfully recreated '50s Tele. Its Aged Candy Apple Red finish, tasteful Journeyman relic job, and vintage-style hardware give it the authentic look and feel you love in a classic Tele package. Tonally, you have two single-coils: a pair of Custom Shop Hand-Wound '55/'56 pickups deliver the twangy tone that made the Telecaster a household name. Plus, the 1957 Soft "V" profile neck really stands out on this instrument - adding a little extra girth to the neck makes it a joy to play, especially if you prefer "V" necks to "C" necks. All in all, this is a remarkable vintage-style Tele with tasteful aging, authentic feel, and classic tone fit for any player.
