Fender Custom Shop 1950s Thinline Telecaster Journeyman Relic – Black

Golden-Era Thinline Style, Featherweight Resonance, Classic Relic Mojo

---

Overview

Discover the lightest touch of vintage Telecaster magic with the Fender Custom Shop 1950s Thinline Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Black. Expertly crafted for the discerning player, this semi-hollow Tele combines classic ’50s style, Custom Shop detail, and a resonant Thinline ash body—all wrapped in a lightly aged Journeyman Relic Black nitrocellulose finish.

A two-piece ash body built to 1951 Nocaster specs delivers articulate tone and airy resonance, enhanced by the F-hole design for added warmth and natural acoustic presence. The Journeyman Relic finish gives you the “played-in” look—soft checking, subtle wear, and authentic patina, with chrome/nickel hardware throughout.

The quarter-sawn maple neck is shaped to a robust and comfortable 1957 soft "V" profile (.880" at the 1st fret, .990" at the 12th), finished in medium-tint nitro, and topped with a 9.5" radius maple fretboard and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets for smooth bends and classic chording. Vintage black Micarta dots, bone nut (1.650"), and a vintage silver Tele logo deliver true period-correct style.

Loaded with Hand-Wound Tele Texas Special pickups, you get the legendary Tele twang with extra heat and clarity, plus a Modern Tele wiring harness with Greasebucket™ tone circuit for full tonal versatility. Hardware includes a vintage Tele bridge, engraved limited edition neck plate, and a relic’d parchment 50s Thinline pickguard.

Ships in a Custom Shop Strat/Tele Tweed case with certificate of authenticity.
