Fender Custom Shop Detroit Guitar Dealer Select '53 Tele TV Jones Bigsby Journeyman Relic Aged British Green

The Fender Custom Shop Detroit Guitar Dealer Select '53 Bigsby Telecaster Journeyman Relic Aged British Racing Green combines classic Telecaster styling with the expressive versatility of a Bigsby vibrato and exclusive specifications developed by Detroit Guitar. Built around our signature DG '53 Telecaster platform, this instrument features a lightweight, sorted roasted ash body paired with a roasted, rift-sawn maple neck, delivering exceptional resonance, stability, and response. Our exclusive Perfect '53 neck profile maintains a substantial, consistent .940" thickness from the 1st through the 12th fret, complemented by a satin-finished back and 7.25"–9.5" compound-radius fingerboard for outstanding comfort and playability.

A key feature of this model is its Bigsby B5 vibrato with RSD Jazzmaster-style bridge, adding smooth, expressive pitch control while retaining the familiar Telecaster feel. Additional Detroit Guitar upgrades include convenient truss rod access through the headstock for easier adjustments and comprehensive wire shielding to help minimize unwanted electrical noise. A pair of TV Jones pickups delivers exceptional clarity, punch, and vintage character, while chrome and nickel hardware, a single-ply eggshell pickguard, and a striking Aged British Racing Green Journeyman Relic lacquer finish complete this distinctive Detroit Guitar Dealer Select instrument.
