Fender Custom Shop

The Fender Custom Shop represents the pinnacle of the craft of guitar making. Generally harking back to pre-CBS era Fender, the Fender Custom Shop replicates vintage and modern instruments alike with startling accuracy, and more importantly feel. The Custom Shop uses only the mostly carefully selected woods for resonance, character and feel, while assembling the best matched electronics before finishing the guitars and basses to either a shiny NOS (New Old Stock), a played in, well-loved Heavy Relic and everything in between.

Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Heavy Relic Aged Candy Apple Red 2018 NAMM Ltd. Ed.

Looking for a Telecaster with mojo, vibe and rugged good looks? This is a lightweight Ash Tele, finished in a heavily relic’d Candy Apple Red to offset the dark Round Laminated Rosewood. The Twisted Tele neck and bridge pickups are handwound of course, and the 60s style “C” neck shape offers an uncompromising comfort for either rhythm or lead playing. Best of all, it was built as a limited edition for NAMM 2018!
