Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '57 Tele Super Heavy Relic Aged Gold Sparkle

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Release 1957 Telecaster Super Heavy Relic is an unapologetically bold take on the Blackguard legacy. Finished in a stunning Aged Gold Sparkle Super Heavy Relic lacquer, this limited-edition Telecaster looks like it has spent decades on the world's biggest stages while delivering the uncompromising craftsmanship and playability that define the Fender Custom Shop. Built from a lightweight Yes Sort ash body, this guitar blends vintage character with eye-catching style that is impossible to ignore.

The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable 1957 Soft "V" profile that measures .850" at the 1st fret and .990" at the 12th fret, offering an authentic vintage feel with exceptional stability. A 9.5" radius maple fingerboard, 21 Narrow Tall frets, and dark tinted nitrocellulose lacquer neck finish provide a familiar broken-in playing experience while allowing for effortless bends and smooth modern playability. Additional Custom Shop details including fret ghosting, an engraved limited-edition neck plate, and relic hardware complete the aged aesthetic.

A pair of Hand-Wound '58 Telecaster Relic pickups delivers everything players love about a great late-'50s Telecaster—crisp attack, rich midrange, and unmistakable twang. Combined with Fat '50s Tele Relic wiring, this Limited Release model offers outstanding clarity, dynamic response, and vintage-inspired versatility, making it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in a serious collection.
