Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '63 Tele Relic Faded Aged Sonic Blue

This Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Relic is a straight-up vintage machine, finished in a beautifully aged Sonic Blue that nails the look and feel of an original well-loved early-’60s example. Built with a lightweight alder body, this one hits that sweet spot of resonance and comfort, and the Relic treatment gives it the broken-in feel players chase without the wait.

Spec’d with a pair of hand-wound ’63 Tele pickups, you’re getting everything you want out of a great Tele—clear, snappy bridge tones with that unmistakable bite, and a warm, woody neck pickup that holds together beautifully under gain or clean. The early ’60s-style oval “C” neck with a 9.5” radius and narrow tall frets makes this one feel familiar but just a little more playable than a strict vintage reissue.

It’s a no-nonsense, dialed-in Custom Shop Tele—lightweight, resonant, and built to be played.
