Fender Custom Shop 1970s Telecaster Heavy Relic - Red Sparkle (844)

The Fender Custom Shop 1970s Telecaster brings bold looks and big tone with a Heavy Relic Red Sparkle lacquer finish over an ash body. It features a quartersawn maple neck with a 1965 Strat “C” carve, compound 7.25"–9.5" radius, and narrow tall 6105 frets for a vintage feel with added playability.

A Wide Range CuNiFe humbucker in the neck and hand-wound Twisted Tele bridge pickup offer a great mix of warmth, clarity, and classic Tele bite. Finished with vintage “F” tuners, a 3-saddle American Vintage bridge, black pickguard, and nickel/chrome hardware.
