Discover the Fender Telecaster CS Heavy Relic, a masterpiece from the Fender Custom Shop that marries vintage aesthetics with modern playability. This guitar is an epitome of craftsmanship with its roasted alder body, delivering a balanced acoustic tone that resonates with equal parts lows, mids, and highs. The '60s-style Oval "C"-shaped roasted flame maple neck is a feature that guitarists will appreciate for its comfort and versatility, making it perfect for both rhythm and lead playing.

The playability is further enhanced by the 11-inch-radius fingerboard, which ensures a smooth, effortless experience whether you're strumming chords or executing intricate solos. The hand-wound Nocaster single-coil bridge pickup offers a sparkling tone with a distinct twangy bite, while the Seymour Duncan SH-55 Seth Lover humbucker at the neck provides a rich, PAF-style tone, allowing you to explore a wide range of musical styles with ease.

Adding to its allure, the Heavy Relic finish gives this Telecaster the look and feel of a well-loved, vintage instrument.
