Fender Telecaster 2022 Limited '59 Journeyman Modified

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Fender Limited '59 Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Aged White Blonde over an ash body was modified by the previous owner with all the best stuff.  Save for the necessary holes drilled for the added Bigsby, the guitar is in excellent overall condition.

The guitar plays perfectly and stays in tune better than any other Bigsby Tele.  The frets show little to no wear and it was super easy to set up perfectly.

Fender's Custom Shop Limited '59 Telecaster Journeyman Relic series recreates the late-1950s Telecaster spec: rift-sawn maple neck, rosewood fretboard, ash body, bone nut, and hand-wound pickups. The Journeyman Relic treatment is lighter than a Full Relic — factory aging that suggests a well-cared-for vintage piece rather than a heavily worn one. The neck is dated 1-4-22. The hand-wound Fender '58 Tele neck pickup (7.21k) is the factory-spec unit and remains in place. Documentation includes COA.

The bridge pickup has been swapped to a Lollar Special (7.82k, 2024). A Bigsby tremolo has been installed.  A Mastery bridge replaces the stock bridge; the original is included. The output jack plate is a quality Electrosocket part (original included). Wiring and solders are non-original. The pickguard, tuners, potentiometers, switch, knobs, and control cavity cover are all original. No repairs to the neck, body, nut, frets, or fretboard. Action is set at 2/32" on both the 1st and 6th strings at the 12th fret with 10-46 strings.
