New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the 1959 Telecaster® Journeyman Relic®. Over six decades since its original release, this instrument captures the essence of a unique set of appointments only found for a brief period in Tele® history.

Loaded with a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special™ pickups and Fat ‘50s wiring, this Telecaster® not only looks the part, but sounds lively, responsive and is bursting with full-range Tele® tone.
