Used Fender Custom Shop 2023 Event Limited Edition Reverse '50s Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic - Faded Aged Burgundy Mist Metallic

Used Fender Custom Shop 2023 Event Limited Edition Reverse '50s Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic - Faded Aged Burgundy Mist Metallic  

Step into a time machine with a twist. This Fender Custom Shop 2023 Event Limited Edition Reverse '50s Telecaster Custom is a masterclass in "what if" history. Wrapped in a stunning Faded Aged Burgundy Mist Metallic finish, this guitar features the Journeyman Relic treatment—giving it the look and feel of a prized possession that has seen decades of smoky clubs and stage lights, yet was handled with the utmost care. The two-piece select Ash body provides that classic Tele "snap" and resonance, beautifully framed by parchment binding for a sophisticated, high-end aesthetic.

Under the hood, this Telecaster is a tonal powerhouse. It’s loaded with Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard pickups that deliver the punchy, crystalline twang that made the original Nocasters and Telecasters legendary. With the '51 Modified Nocaster wiring, you can blend the neck and bridge pickups to find those "in-between" sweet spots that standard wiring just can't reach. Whether you're channeling the country licks of James Burton or the rock-and-roll grit of Keith Richards, this guitar has the soul of the 1950s baked into every note.

The playing experience is just as refined as the tone. The rift-sawn maple neck features a '57-style soft "V" profile, offering a substantial but comfortable grip that players have loved for generations. Modern touches like the 9.5" radius and narrow-tall frets ensure that while it looks vintage, it plays with effortless precision. From the reverse Nocaster bridge with compensated saddles to the bone nut, every detail has been curated by the Fender Custom Shop to create a guitar that isn't just an instrument, but a piece of musical history.
