Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Relic (October ‘25) Dakota Red Electric Guitar & Hardcase
SKU: 172529
Serial: CZ585390 | Event #139 | October 2025
This Limited Edition Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Relic captures the look, feel, and tone of a mid-’60s Tele, finished in a striking Dakota Red nitrocellulose lacquer with tasteful relic aging. Built as an NAMM event-exclusive Custom Shop model (#139), this guitar blends vintage-correct specs with modern Custom Shop craftsmanship for a truly inspiring player’s instrument.
The lightweight alder body delivers classic Tele twang and resonance, while the tinted quarter-sawn maple neck with a ’60s-style oval “C” profile and dark rosewood fingerboard offers a comfortable, broken-in feel right out of the case. The pair of hand-wound ’63 Tele pickups provide everything from glassy cleans and articulate twang to gritty, punchy midrange when pushed, pure vintage Tele character with exceptional clarity and balance.
