The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Master Built 1958 Telecaster Relic - Black is a stunning example of what happens when history, craftsmanship, and artistry collide. Hand-built by Master Builder Greg Fessler, this exclusive event instrument pays homage to one of Fender’s most legendary eras while showcasing the exceptional quality and nuance that only a true master craftsman can deliver. Every detail has been meticulously considered—from the hand-wound pickups to the period-correct components and relic finish—resulting in an instrument that feels alive with vintage character and plays with modern precision.

At its core, this Master Built Telecaster features a 2-piece select ash body, chosen for its resonant, lively tonal properties and light weight. It’s finished in a beautifully aged Black nitrocellulose lacquer, artfully relic’d to evoke decades of stage and studio use. The lacquer allows the wood to breathe and age naturally, enhancing resonance over time. Its elegant simplicity is accented by a ’51 Nocaster-style black pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware, maintaining the authentic aesthetic of late-‘50s Telecasters.

The neck is a true work of art—crafted from a 1-piece quartersawn roasted maple, offering incredible stability and tonal warmth. It’s shaped to a comfortable 1958 Soft “V” profile, striking the perfect balance between vintage authenticity and effortless playability. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer for a smooth, broken-in feel, the neck plays fast and fluid, with a 9.5" fingerboard radius and 21 vintage tall frets providing an ideal platform for both chordal work and expressive bends. Black dot position inlays add a subtle touch of classic style, while the bone nut ensures excellent tuning stability and tonal clarity.

Under the hood, this Tele delivers a masterfully balanced tonal palette. The hand-wound Original Black Guard bridge pickup provides the twang, snap, and midrange bite that defined countless records, while the Twisted Tele neck pickup adds warmth, clarity, and dimension for smooth, articulate rhythm and lead tones. The 3-position blade switch and master volume and tone controls give players simple yet expressive control over their sound—making this Tele equally at home in blues, country, rock, or soul.

Every appointment reflects Fender’s dedication to authenticity: vintage-style tuning machines, a bridge with brass barrel saddles, and knurled chrome control knobs complete the period-correct look. The Relic treatment applied by Greg Fessler is tasteful and convincing, giving this guitar the look and feel of a well-loved instrument that’s been played for decades, without sacrificing modern performance.

Each Master Built 1958 Telecaster Relic comes with a Custom Tooled Hardshell Case, Custom Tooled Leather Strap, and a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its place as a true collector’s piece. With its unmatched craftsmanship, resonant tone, and timeless aesthetic, this Greg Fessler–built Telecaster stands as a remarkable tribute to Fender’s golden age—a living, breathing piece of history designed to inspire every note you play.

This particular guitar was on display at the Fender Custom Shop Event in Corona, California. We were lucky enough to acquire this show piece for Eddies's Guitars.
