The Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition 1964 “Bobbed” Telecaster® Thinline Relic®, which combines several fan-favorite Tele® appointments in one remarkably distinctive guitar. Its chambered two-piece select ash Thinline body (mahogany on Aged Natural model) with classic “F” hole delivers the perfect blend of warmth with crisp attack and sparkling resonance, presented in authentically worn-in Relic® lacquer finishes in classic Aged Natural, Three-Color Sunburst and Aged White Blonde. The quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a comfortably easy-playing 1960s-style Oval “C” profile, topped by a 9.5”-radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard with 21 Jumbo (6100) frets and a bone nut. True Telecaster® tone with biting mids and articulation comes from a pair of Fender Wide-Range CuNiFe humbucking pickups with ’72 Tele® Thinline wiring and three-way switching.
