Fender Custom Shop 1955 Relic Telecaster – Dirty White Blonde

Serial Number: R96994
Weight: 7 lbs 4 oz

Combining the classic style with modern features, this guitar stems from a distinctive year for the Telecaster®—1955. The Telecaster® received a few updates that year, novel steel barrel bridge saddles were joined by a 1957 style soft “V”-shaped quartersawn maple neck profile and single-ply White Eggshell pickguard. Matchless in look and tone, our ‘55 Relic® is loyal recreation of this classic with its period-correct top hat switch tip and hand-wound pickups. Providing the modern playability of a 7.25”-radius fingerboard with vintage upgrade frets, Fender® Custom Shop has fashioned a tried and true workhorse for today’s nostalgic player.
