Fender Custom Shop 1955 Telecaster Journeyman Relic – Super Aged ’55 Desert Tan

Vintage ’50s Tele Mojo, Custom Shop Mastery, and Stunning Super Aged Desert Tan Finish

---

Overview

Step into the golden era of Fender with the Fender Custom Shop 1955 Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Super Aged ’55 Desert Tan—a remarkable part of the 2025 Time Machine Collection. This exquisite Custom Shop Tele blends classic ’50s style with modern reliability and playability, wrapped in a breathtaking Super Aged finish that looks like it’s seen decades of stage and studio action.

This Tele starts with a 2-piece ash body, lightweight-sorted for resonance and finished in an authentic lacquer Super Aged ’55 Desert Tan. The Journeyman Relic treatment delivers all the vibe of a well-loved vintage guitar, while the Closet Classic hardware brings tasteful, period-correct aging to every detail.

The quarter-sawn maple neck is carved to a classic 10/56 “V” profile (.890" at the 1st fret, .980" at the 12th), medium-tint nitro finish, and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets. With a comfortable 7.25"–9.5" compound radius, black micarta face and side dots, and a bone nut (1.650" width), it feels like a true ’50s original in your hands.

For classic Tele tone, you get Hand-Wound 55/56 Telecaster pickups (neck & bridge), vintage-correct Fat 50s Tele wiring, and a 3-way Top Hat selector for pure, punchy, and expressive sound. A relic’d parchment single-ply pickguard, vintage Tele bridge, and V-logo serial neck plate complete the historic look.

Includes a Custom Shop Tweed case and certificate of authenticity.
