Fender Custom Shop '60 Telecaster Custom P90 Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar, Aged Burgundy Mist Metallic

For a ripe pick of a Tele, this Fender Custom Shop ’60 Telecaster Custom P90 Journeyman Relic in a sweet Aged Burgundy Mist Metallic drops in from our friends over at the Fender Custom Shop. Coming together with an assortment of fine hardware specifications, electronics and aesthetics, this Telecaster Custom makes itself known with a luscious color and a charming electric voice. This Custom Shop piece carries with it at once both style and substance for a great custom pick.

This Fender Custom Shop ’60 Telecaster Custom establishes its basis with a two-piece ash body, sorted for weight, resulting in a comfortable weight for easy handling. The iconic single-cutaway solid body works both as a base to kickstart the sonic experience of this guitar, as well as an excellent canvas on which to splash an Aged Burgundy Mist Metallic lacquer finish. This enticing shade is outfitted with a Fender Custom Shop Journeyman Relic finish treatment that imparts some slight age to the overall coat. Barring major artifacts of heavier relic treatments, this Journeyman Relic job manifests as some paint checking and age, yet overall implies a lineage of close care. This aesthetic presentation is framed within parchment body binding, giving some extra shape to the classic Telecaster form along its edges.

The two-piece ash of this Telecaster Custom pairs with a AA quartersawn flame maple neck shaped in a 57 Style Soft “V” profile. Across the back of this neck, a consistent finish job can be found to match the careful coverage of the Journeyman Relic body, resulting in an easily played neck from head to heel. This flame maple matches with a 9mm AAA rosewood fingerboard lined with twenty-one frets. A popular pick among some more modern-style guitars, 6105 Narrow Tall fret wire forms these frets for articulate playing across the fingers. This modernity is enhanced by the inclusion of a 7.25” – 9.5” compound fingerboard radius that starts round and flattens out toward the body to facilitate classic-feeling chords on lower registers and modern-feeling soloing on higher registers. Micarta White facedots punctuate the rosewood while Micarta White sidedots accompany. This Custom Shop’s neck is topped with a Tele style headstock with a 60-style headscoop and Vintage-Style tuning machines bearing the Fender logo. Following the length of the neck, its thickness measures .850” at the first fret and .990” at the twelfth.

For a unique setup of electronics, this Custom Shop Telecaster comes equipped with a pair of hand-wound beauties. In the bridge position, one will find a 50-51 Blackguard single-coil pickup that plays with great Telecaster twang. Alongside it in the neck position, a Fender Custom Shop P-90 assumes the place for some outstanding and punchy P-90 tonality. Knurled chrome volume and tone knobs appear with a Relic hardware treatment to gain their own sense of age and use. Further additions to this setup include an array of fine hardware specifications that build upon playability and enhance overall presentation. A bone nut measuring 1.650” matches with a 58-63 Telecaster bridge to ground strings stably and ensure solid intonation across the entire scale. This Telecaster Custom travels in style with an included Fender Custom Shop Strat/Tele Brown hardshell case.

Mixing great vintage style with some modern fittings and exciting amplified tonality, this Custom Shop Tele embodies the thrill of Telecasters across generations for any Fender fan to love.
