Fender Custom Shop 1963 Relic Telecaster

We were delighted to get our hands on this superb fiesta red 63 Relic Telecaster recently. Unusual to see these in this colour and it looks superb. A lightweight and resonant guitar with lots of mojo. A nice 60s style C neck makes this extremely playable. The sound has the classic Tele twang but is rounded and balanced enough to make this a very versatile instrument. It remains in superb condition and has seen very little use. The saddles have been uprated to Glendale Groovy 60s saddles, threaded and compensated. The originals are of course included but as this is a sensible and worthy upgrade we thought we'd leave them on. They are circa $75 in the US for a set so presumably a similar price here but it's hard to find any available online. A lovely guitar that is a great example of what the Fender Custom Shop are doing. Worth mentioning that the faded fiesta red is slightly lighter in real life than in our photos.
