Fender - Custom Shop 50s Thinline Telecaster - Electric Guitar - Heavy Relic Aged Violin Burst - w/ Hardshell Case

This Fender Custom Shop ’50s Thinline Telecaster blends early Tele attitude with the airy resonance of a semi‑hollow construction, finished in a striking Heavy Relic Aged Violin Burst. Built to feel like a road‑worn original that’s lived a full musical life, this guitar delivers vintage tone, effortless playability, and unmistakable Custom Shop character.
The select ash Thinline body features Fender’s classic F‑hole design, enhancing acoustic resonance and adding harmonic complexity, while the heavy relic nitro finish reveals layers of beautifully aged wear throughout. A one‑piece maple neck shaped to a substantial ’52 Tele “U” profile provides that unmistakable early‑’50s feel, with a 7.25" radius and narrow‑tall frets that balance vintage correctness with modern control.
Loaded with hand‑wound ’50s Telecaster pickups, this Thinline delivers everything from articulate twang to warm, woody cleans, with excellent note separation and dynamic response. Vintage‑style Tele hardware, a single‑ply black pickguard, and period‑correct appointments complete the package.
Authentic in look, feel, and sound, this Custom Shop Thinline is equally at home as a professional player’s instrument or a standout piece in a serious Fender collection.
Includes original Fender Custom Shop hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, and case candy.
