  • Detail

    The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition Blackguard Thinline Relic electric guitar captures the magic of a hard-gigging 1950s Telecaster straight out of Fender's legendary Custom Shop. From its road-worn lacquer finish to its vintage-spec'd construction and custom-wound pickups, this Tele transports you to the golden era of twang while retaining all the playability of a modern instrument.

    Relic'd for Instant Heirloom Vibe

    Like a cherished Tele that's been a constant companion for decades, the Blackguard Thinline Relic boasts a heavy-aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish loaded with authentic wear marks and character. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck has been broken in with a smooth, resonant playing feel. Even the hardware has been aged to perfection. Plug it in and you'll swear this guitar has been waiting in the wings since the '50s.

    Premium Fender Custom Shop Appointments

    As a limited Custom Shop masterpiece, this Blackguard Thinline Relic leaves nothing to be desired. The two-piece select ash body is lightweight and resonant, while the quartersawn maple neck with AA flame figuring is a premium touch. A black phenolic pickguard, knurled chrome knobs and nickel hardware complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic. And of course, it ships in a deluxe hardshell case with a strap and certificate of authenticity.

    Custom Shop Pickups Deliver Pure Vintage Twang

    At the heart of this Tele's magic are two hand-wound "Blackguard" pickups crafted by Fender's esteemed pickup winders. The bridge pickup delivers that classic glassy Tele quack and snarl that defined so many iconic tones. The Blackguard neck pickup serves up a warmer, thicker voice while retaining the percussive attack that single-coils are known for. With these Custom Shop pickups, you'll effortlessly tap into the raw, visceral tones that put the Telecaster on the map.

    Vintage-Spec'd for Authentic '50s Feel and Resonance

    This Tele leaves no detail overlooked in recreating the vibe of a '50s classic. The one-piece maple neck sports a vintage-style truss rod for unbeatable sustain and a bone nut for enhanced resonance. The 21 vintage-tall frets make string bends effortless. Down to the strings-through-body bridge with brass saddles, this guitar is a master class in vintage Tele DNA. Even the controls are period-correct with a 3-way blade switch and master volume and tone.
