Player's Perspective
Fresh from Fender's 2018 Postmodern series, Music Store Live is proud to offer up this new Custom Shop Telecaster! The journeyman relic job on it gives the guitar some great mojo without making it look like it was completely abused. It just looks like it's been well cared for, but played a good bit... Just as these instruments were intended for.
The first thing you're likely to notice when you get this guitar into your hands is going to be the way the neck feels. They've sanded it down just a little bit so that it's silky smooth and doesn't have any of that stickiness that glossy necks can sometimes experience. It really feels like the neck on a guitar, finished in nitro, that has been played regularly for 15 - 20 years. Combined with the amazing fretwork, which is pure perfection, makes playing this guitar a true joy.
You know you're getting a special instrument in your hands any time you pick up something built by Fender's Custom Shop team, and this guitar is sure to not only meet but exceed those already lofty expectations.
