#Fender Custom Shop Telecaster 1960 Custom Relic Tobacco Burst

At the beginning of the 1960s, the Fender Telecaster was confronted with strong competition from its own company. The Fender Stratocaster boomed and attractive new releases, such as the Jazzmaster and the Jaguar, were presented as top models with sophisticated electronics in the Fender catalog. Nevertheless, the Fender Telecaster was able to establish itself as an indestructible workhorse alongside the Stratocaster and has been used for decades in all genres of music, be it Country, Blues or Rock.

With the 1960s Custom Telecaster, the Fender Custom Shop has once again succeeded in an excellent way in bringing out an authentic new edition of an all-time classic. For those who like the classic 60s Tele-Sound, this reissue Tele from the Fender Custom Shop is the ultimative choice! In order to get the most authentic sound possible like the 60s originals, the Fender Custom Shop has used only the finest wood selection. The body made of lightweight alder has a pleasant 60's oval "C" maple neck with a dark rosewood fingerboard. With this unique mix of high-quality tonewoods, in combination with hand-wound 63 'Tele pickups, you get damn close to the original sound of a 60s Tele. Twang as Twang can be – with a fast attack and a lot of punch. From driving Country licks to soulful Blues tones and powerful Rock riffs, everything is possible!

The overall impression is rounded off by an exquisite finish in "Tobacco Sunburst", which was given an authentic Relic Aging by the Fender Custom Shop. This excellent reissue of a 1960 Tele gives you the "Look & Feel" of a well-rehearsed original.
