The Fender Custom Shop 1954 Reissue Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Candy Tangerine is a bold twist on a vintage classic. Based on the iconic '52 Tele platform, this guitar features a lightweight, resonant two-piece ash body with an off-center seam, finished in a striking Candy Tangerine lacquer. The Journeyman Relic treatment adds just the right amount of wear: soft checking, subtle dings, and a played-in feel, giving it that perfect broken in vibe without going overboard.
A pair of hand-wound Twisted Tele pickups delivers a punchy, articulate tone with modern sparkle and vintage grit. The chunky 1954 "U" maple neck, carved from quarter-sawn stock, offers exceptional stability and comfort, paired with a 9.5" radius and 6103 narrow tall frets for effortless playability. Period-correct details like the '51 Nocaster style pickguard, V-logo neck plate, and chrome knurled knobs round out this Custom Shop masterpiece - a visually unique, sonically versatile Tele with true mid-century soul.
