2016 Fender Custom Shop LTD '52 Telecaster HS Relic

A drop-dead gorgeous Tele with early specs, a NoCaster U-shaped neck, and Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker in the neck, this Custom Shop LTD '52 Telecaster HS Relic is a serious nod to Keith Richard's Tele #1, AKA Micawber.

A lightweight guitar at 7.4Lbs with a great looking believable relic finish, this guitar is irresistible to anyone who digs Telecasters. The neck carve is heavenly, and the guitar's large 57/110 frets on a 9.5” fingerboard radius really makes for an incredible playing experience. The pickup combination is perfect too, with a handwound Broadcaster bridge pickup for a little extra crunch in the bridge to balance out the Duncan Antiquity PAF in the neck. Early-style Tele Bridge with brass saddles, single-ply black pickguard, and reverse-mounted control plate.

The guitar is completely original, perfectly set-up, and is accompanied by all of its original factory accouterments and custom-shop hardshell case.
