Fender '52 Telecaster Relic Custom Shop Re-fret with Jumbo Frets 2024 Aged Blonde

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This 2024 Fender '52 Telecaster Relic is just 5 months old.  You could buy one for $4800 new, or save some serious cash here.

The guitar belonged to a good customer and friend who gets every guitar that hits his collection refretted with jumbo frets.  He gigs regularly, and the frets are his preference.  While it might seem off putting, it makes for killer playability, and the luthier he uses for the work is really, really good!  The original frets are in the case.

The traditional 50s style Tele wiring was removed - the "mud circuit".  The thing is, Fender includes a second control plate, populated with a more modern Tele electronic setup in the case.  This control plate remains unused. 

The soft V neck is really, really nice.  Playability is perfect.  The truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustments.

All the paperwork is included in the original case.  There are no other changes or repairs to the guitar.
