Fender Custom Shop 50's Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar - Candy Green

Fender Custom Shop 50's Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar - Candy Green

The Fender Custom Shop 50's Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic in striking Candy Green blends classic aesthetics tonal versatility. Designed with a semi-hollow ash body shaped in the timeless 1952 Telecaster silhouette, this guitar delivers warm, resonant tones with a hint of airiness that only a Thinline can provide.

The 60’s Style Oval C maple neck feels like an old friend in your hands, offering a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Topped with a rosewood fingerboard and vintage clay dot inlays, the 7.5" radius and 21 medium jumbo 6150 frets ensure effortless playability whether you're bending blues licks or laying down country rhythms.

Under the hood, this Tele is a tonal powerhouse. A Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbucker in the neck position delivers rich, warm, and articulate tones with vintage PAF-style character, while the Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Tomatillo Tele Bridge pickup adds that classic twang with a slightly more open and dynamic response. Paired with a 3-way blade switch, master volume, and tone controls, this guitar is ready to handle anything from smooth jazz to gritty blues and punchy rock.

The Journeyman Relic finish takes the visual appeal of this Candy Green beauty to another level. Carefully aged to simulate years of loving play, the worn edges, light checking, and subtle dings give the guitar a broken-in feel without overdoing the distress. The finish tells a story of countless gigs, smoky blues clubs, and road-worn adventures, making it look like an instrument that has been cherished and played for decades.

The tortoiseshell pickguard contrasts beautifully against the Candy Green finish, further enhancing the timeless, custom aesthetic. The result is a guitar that looks and feels like an iconic vintage Tele, but with the precision and craftsmanship that only the Fender Custom Shop can provide.

Complete with a hardshell tweed case, this Fender Custom Shop is a dream come true for players who crave vintage tone and style with modern reliability.
