Description
Fender Custom Shop 50's Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic - Red Sparkle
Step into the spotlight with a Telecaster that screams rock 'n' roll royalty. This Fender Custom Shop 50's Thinline isn’t just a guitar; it’s a masterclass in style and resonance. Wrapped in a jaw-dropping Red Sparkle finish with a Journeyman Relic treatment, it looks like a vintage treasure that’s spent decades on the world’s best stages. The hollow ash body—roasted for extra stability and a played-in "sweetness"—offers that classic Thinline airiness, perfectly complemented by a Bigsby B5 vibrato that lets you add subtle shimmer or deep dives to your chords.
Under the hood, this Tele is a tonal chameleon. We’ve paired a Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker in the neck for thick, buttery jazz and blues tones with a Hand-Wound Tomatillo bridge pickup that delivers that signature Fender "spank" with a slightly sweeter, more musical top end. Whether you're channeling the country-rock swagger of Clarence White or the experimental textures of modern indie icons, the dual-stack 250/500k wiring and Greasebucket tone circuit ensure your high end stays clear and defined, even when you roll the volume back.
The neck is a player’s dream, featuring a stunning 3A Roasted Flame Maple blank carved into a comfortable '52 Style "U" profile. It’s beefy enough to feel substantial but plays lightning-fast thanks to the 9.5" to 12" compound radius and Medium Jumbo frets. Finished with elegant Mother of Pearl block inlays and a Bigsby tailpiece, this guitar is a tribute to the legacy of the 1950s while offering the precision and reliability of the modern Fender Custom Shop.
