The Fender Custom Shop Telecaster CuNiFe LTD Relic in Faded Aged Wide 2-Tone Sunburst is a masterfully built tribute to the earliest days of Fender innovation, elevated with modern Custom Shop precision and vintage mojo. Its off-center sorted ash body evokes the spirit of the original '52 Tele, finished in a beautifully aged lacquer that captures decades of road-worn character. The relic treatment throughout the hardware, finish, and plastics gives this guitar the look and feel of a seasoned workhorse with the heart of a modern performer.
Loaded with a CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker in the neck and a hand-wound '50–'51 Blackguard bridge pickup, this Tele delivers a powerful tonal range—from warm, articulate cleans to biting Tele twang. The custom dual stack HS Tele controls offer nuanced blending and tonal shaping, while the Bigsby B-5 with RSD J-Bridge adds expressive vibrato without sacrificing classic styling. A rif-sawn maple neck with a hefty 1950 Blackguard profile (.925" at the 1st fret, 1.00" at the 12th), 6105 narrow tall frets, and a 9.5" radius ensures a vintage grip with modern playability. Finished with a vintage-style decal, bone nut, and engraved limited edition neck plate, this Tele is a true collector-grade instrument built for serious players.
