Fender Custom Shop Ltd Ed '72 Telecaster Custom Thinline Relic (Vintage Blonde)

Roasted ash meets roasted maple in this limited–run Fender Custom Shop Telecaster that blends signature elements from multiple decades of Tele design. The 2-piece roasted ash body is semi–hollow to shed weight while enhancing acoustic resonance, bound in tortoise celluloid that frames the Vintage Blonde finish with period–correct Relic treatment throughout. A Wide-Range CuNiFe humbucking pickup in the neck position delivers warm, thick tones with enhanced low–mid presence, while the Custom Shop hand–wound '51 Nocaster bridge pickup provides classic single–coil snap and treble clarity.

The roasted 3A flame maple neck carries a '63 Strat–style C profile paired with a premium 3A rosewood fingerboard, shaped to a 9.5" radius and fitted with 21 medium vintage frets and mother–of&pearl dot position markers. Hardware includes a three–saddle custom “chopped” Telecaster bridge with Custom Shop RSD saddles, vintage–style F tuners, an American Vintage '59–'64 string tree, and a bone nut cut to traditional Fender specifications. Each guitar ships with a deluxe hardshell case, leather strap, and certificate of authenticity documenting its limited production status.
