Fender Custom Shop LTD 70s Telecaster Custom Relic Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Black

Player's Perspective

We're proud to offer this new Limited-Edition Fender Custom Shop LTD 70s Telecaster Custom! The tasteful relic job on the gorgeous piano-like black finish gives the guitar some great mojo and a period-specific vibe of a well-loved gigging machine, just as these instruments were intended for.

Beyond the vintage-accurate tone of the CuNiFe Wide Range humbucker and the punchy Twisted Tele bridge pickup that harkens back to the 70s, the first thing you're likely to notice when you get this guitar into your hands is going to be the way the neck feels. They've sanded it down just a little bit so that it's silky smooth and doesn't have any of that stickiness that glossy necks can sometimes experience. It really feels like the neck on a guitar, finished in nitro, that has been played regularly for 15 - 20 years. Combined with the amazing fretwork, which is pure perfection, playing this guitar is a true joy.

You know you're getting a special instrument in your hands any time you pick up something built by Fender's Custom Shop team, and this guitar is sure to not only meet but exceed your expectations.
