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.

Other premium features include a four-ply aged white Pearloid pickguard (three-ply black on Aged White Blonde model), three-saddle custom “chopped” Telecaster® bridge with Custom Shop RSD (Research Special Design) brass saddles for perfect intonation without sacrificing tone, vintage-style “F” tuners, wing string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
