The Custom Shop are making incredible Fender Guitars and the Custom Shop Showcase guitars offer even more. A store owner needs to go into a draw to win the opportunity to buy the display model. The others have to order and wait for theirs to be built šŸ™‚ Here is one of those very special instruments built to entice a store to order one for their display.

Combining the classic style with modern features, this guitar stems from a distinctive year for the TelecasterĀ®ā€”1954. The TelecasterĀ® received a few updates that year, novel steel barrel bridge saddles were joined by a new ā€œUā€-shaped quartersawn maple neck profile and single-ply White Eggshell pickguard. Matchless in look and tone, our ā€˜54 Heavy RelicĀ® is loyal recreation of this classic with its period-correct top hat switch tip and hand-wound pickups. Providing the modern playability of a 9.5ā€-radius fingerboard with 6105 frets, FenderĀ® Custom Shop has fashioned a tried and true workhorse for todayā€™s nostalgic player.

Combining the best of the past and present, the ā€™54 RelicĀ® TelecasterĀ® sports Fat 50ā€™s TeleĀ® wiring, ā€™55-ā€™57 TeleĀ® bridge assembly and vintage-style tuning machines, along with a hand-wound ā€™51 NocasterĀ® bridge pickup matched to a hand-wound ā€™Texas SpecialĀ® neck pickup for perfectly balanced tone, 3-way switch, bone nut and round string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap andĀ  Two Certificate of Authenticity.
