The Fender Custom Shop Limited Run 1960 Telecaster Journeyman Relic in Aged Black is a vintage-inspired Tele that blends period-correct appointments with road-ready relicing. Its Journeyman Relic nitro finish shows deliberate wear and checking, and the Aged Black finish sits over a traditionally shaped alder body. The AAA rosewood fingerboard adds a warm, smooth playing surface and complements the ’60 Style Oval "C" neck profile, finished to a comfortable 9.5" radius for a balance of chording comfort and bendability.
Electronics are handwired around a pair of Texas Special pickups, delivering a hotter, mid-forward Tele voice well suited to slap-back country, blues drive, and overdriven rock tones. The Custom Shop wiring and hardware choices maintain classic Tele functionality—three-saddle bridge and vintage-style tuners—while the Journeyman relic treatment extends to hardware aging for an authentic, played-in feel. Built to Custom Shop tolerances, this instrument combines vintage dimensions with modern playability for players who want classic Tele tone with a broken-in aesthetic.
