FENDER Custom Shop 1955 Telecaster Journeyman Relic, Aged Vintage White

The Fender Custom Shop 1955 Telecaster Journeyman Relic delivers classic mid-’50s tone and feel with the perfect balance of character and playability. Finished in Aged Vintage White nitrocellulose lacquer with light Journeyman Relic wear, it captures the look of a well-loved instrument that’s been played for decades.

Its 2-piece ash body, sorted for lightweight resonance, is paired with a quartersawn maple neck featuring the comfortable 10/56 “V” profile. A compound 7.25″–9.5″ radius and 21 narrow tall 6105 frets provide modern playability across the fingerboard. Hand-wound ’55/’56 Telecaster pickups deliver the signature bite and warmth of the era, wired to Fat ’50s Tele controls for rich, dynamic response.

Other details include relic’d chrome/nickel hardware, a parchment pickguard, and black Nocaster control knobs. This Tele is completed with a Fender Custom Shop tweed hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
