Fender Custom Shop 50s Thinline Telecaster Journeyman Relic – Aged Candy Apple Red

Classic ’50s Tele Tone & Feel, Featherweight Thinline Body, Modern Playability

---

Overview

Experience the best of Fender’s golden era with a lightweight twist: the Fender Custom Shop 50s Thinline Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Aged Candy Apple Red. Crafted for serious players and vintage tone aficionados, this Custom Shop masterpiece blends classic Telecaster style, rich semi-hollow resonance, and comfortable modern playability—all wrapped in a beautifully aged Journeyman Relic finish.

The two-piece ash body (built to 1951 Nocaster specs) features a single F-hole, offering increased resonance, airiness, and reduced weight—perfect for long sessions and gigging. The iconic Aged Candy Apple Red nitrocellulose lacquer finish is lightly relic’d, with natural wear, tasteful checking, and authentic patina that only the Fender Custom Shop can deliver.

A quarter-sawn maple neck is shaped to a chunky, comfortable 1957 soft "V" profile (.880" at the 1st fret, .990" at the 12th), finished in medium-tint nitro for a broken-in feel. The 9.5" radius maple fretboard with 21 narrow tall (6105) frets delivers effortless bends and comfortable chording, while vintage black Micarta dots and a bone nut provide period-correct detail and smooth play.

Loaded with Hand-Wound Tele Texas Special pickups, this Thinline Telecaster delivers hot, punchy, and expressive tones with plenty of twang and bite. The Modern Tele wiring harness with Greasebucket™ tone circuit ensures maximum versatility, letting you roll off highs without muddying your sound.

Includes a relic’d parchment pickguard, chrome/nickel hardware, vintage Tele bridge, engraved limited edition neck plate, and a Custom Shop Strat/Tele Tweed case. Certificate of authenticity included.
