This Fender Custom Shop 30th Anniversary Journeyman Relic Telecaster pays tribute to Fender's golden era with vintage-correct tone and thoroughly modern playability. Finished in Dirty White Blonde with a subtle Journeyman relic treatment, it wears the look of a well-loved vintage instrument while staying clean and lightly aged, built around a 2-piece select ash body and contoured neck heel for classic Tele twang with added comfort and resonance.

The quartersawn maple neck carries a comfortable '63 "C" profile and a modern 9.5" to 12" compound radius across all 21 frets, while hand-wound Custom Shop pickups, a Texas Special in the bridge and a Twisted Tele in the neck, deliver everything from punchy, cutting leads to warm, articulate cleans. Built in 2018 and presented in excellent condition with its factory ageing intact, this example is ideal for players after a genuinely versatile, collector-grade Telecaster complete with its original hardshell case and Custom Shop certificate of authenticity.
