AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
CON2074
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
Built by Fender’s Custom Shop in Corona, California, this 1965 Telecaster Custom Relic captures the look, feel, and tone of one of the most iconic double-bound Tele designs of the mid-’60s. Finished in beautifully aged black nitrocellulose lacquer with parchment binding, it delivers the unmistakable vintage aesthetic of a well-loved original, paired with the precision and consistency of modern Custom Shop craftsmanship.
The alder body and maple neck with a comfortable ’60s Oval “C” profile offer classic Tele snap with smooth playability, while the compound 7.25"–9.5" fingerboard radius blends authentic vintage feel with improved bending and control. Hand-wound Custom Shop ’64 Tele pickups provide articulate lows, cutting mids, and crisp highs, making this guitar equally at home with clean country tones, edge-of-breakup blues, or driven rock textures.
This 2019-built Custom Shop guitar is in superb condition, with some really cool factory relicing and a slinky, fast action. Weighing just 3.3kg, it's has classic Tele tone in spades with a smooth, refined voice that has plenty of bite when needed. Complete with its original Custom Shop case, certificate of authenticity and all original case candy this is a standout example of a Time Machine-era Telecaster Custom built for players and collectors alike.
