Fender Custom Shop CuNiFe Blackguard Bigsby Tele Heavy Relic, 1-Piece Quartersawn Maple Neck in Faded Aged 2-Color Sunburst

A seriously characterful Fender Custom Shop Telecaster, hand-selected at a recent Fender Custom Shop dealer event, featuring a heavily aged Faded Aged 2-Color Sunburst finish, premium appointments and the unmistakable addition of a Bigsby B5.

The 2-piece Select Ash body is finished in lacquer and paired with a 1-piece quartersawn maple neck. The pickup combination is particularly versatile, featuring a Wide-Range CuNiFe humbucker in the neck alongside a Custom Shop hand-wound '50–'51 Blackguard Tele bridge pickup. The Dual Stack HS Tele wiring gives this Tele a broad tonal range while retaining its unmistakable character.

The 1957 Soft "V" neck, 9.5" radius and Narrow Tall 6105 frets provide a comfortable playing feel, while the Bigsby B5 bridge and tailpiece add both visual impact and expressive vibrato.
