The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition CuNiFe Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic is an embodiment of vintage appeal, contemporary innovation, and tonal versatility. Inspired by the '60 Tele Custom, this guitar stands as a testament to Fender's rich history and unrelenting commitment to pushing the boundaries of guitar craftsmanship.

The body of the guitar is constructed from knotty pine - a tone wood selection that deviates from the norm, offering a unique tonal flavor and an excellent soundstage for the guitar's vintage-inspired electronics. Aged to perfection, the Journeyman Relic finish exudes an authentic, well-loved aesthetic, beautifully complimenting the natural amber hue of the knotty pine body.

Accompanying the body is a roasted birdseye maple neck, providing a stable and comfortable playing surface. The neck houses a AAA dark rosewood fingerboard, sorted for its aesthetic appeal. With a 9.5" radius, the fingerboard maintains a balanced tension across all strings, enabling easier chord fingering and nimble lead work. The neck measures a thinner .790" at the 1st fret and ramps up to a more substantial .930" at the 12th.

In the realm of electronics, this Telecaster does not disappoint. A hand-wound Tele Texas Special pickup occupies the bridge position, offering a robust, punchy tone with a high output that's perfect for driving an amp into sweet saturation. The neck position houses a Wide Range CuNiFe humbucker, a classic pickup revered for its full, rich sound, providing tonal balance and nuance to the guitar's overall sound.

The final touch is the guitar's hardware, meticulously relic'd to match the guitar's aged aesthetic. The tuning machines, controls, and Bigsby B5 bridge and tailpiece exhibit a charming vintage patina, reinforcing the guitar's vintage authenticity.

The Limited Edition CuNiFe Telecaster Custom, weighing in at a comfortable 8lbs 4.7oz, provides an impeccable blend of vintage and modern features, making it a worthy addition to Fender's Custom Shop lineage. It's a perfect instrument for the discerning player who appreciates Fender's historical roots but seeks the benefits of modern design and craftsmanship.
