Fender Custom Shop LTD ’58 Telecaster Heavy Relic Guitar, White Blonde

Player’s Perspective

We’re stoked to bring you another beautiful creation from our friends over at the Fender Custom Shop! Built by the very best of the best, this guitar looks like it’s a well worn-in friend with eclectic stories to tell. 

Everything about this guitar is just silky smooth, from the aged paint job to the playability – it feels like the perfect mix of vintage and luxurious. The fretwork is absolutely phenomenal, and the action is nice and low without any fret buzz to speak of or worry about, which is pretty damn amazing for a vintage-style axe such as this. The sanded-down neck back is a playground for your left hand and makes for a buttery smooth ride up and down. It’s all of the best parts of having a worn-in neck but without any of the fretwork issues and problems that can sometimes develop with those old vintage guitars from back in the day.

Sonically, it’s everything you’d expect and want out of a vintage Tele. The FCS ’58 set is handwound and sound absolutely amazing! It really sounds as though as much care and attention went into making the pickups themselves as the rest of the guitar. The tone just the right amount of twangy and spanky with some nice body to it that keeps it from ever getting too shrill.

As you’d expect, this Custom Shop creation is top-notch through and through. An incredible piece to add to any guitarist’s collection, this limited-edition Telecaster is pure joy.
