With the Relic Finish in Shell Pink, complemented by Tortoise Pickguard and white body bindings, this 1960 Telecaster Custom is a real feast for the eyes, which will attract the attention of the audience.
Selected woods in the form of alder for the body and maple for the neck form the proven basis for the crisp Tele-Twang, from which the sharpest tips are taken by the rosewood fingerboard. The "Mid '60s C" profile guarantees comfortable playability. With perfectly formed shoulders and an excellent balance between fleshy grip and slim race track, bluesy licks or rocky riffs come out of your fingers. The unpainted back of the neck proves to be a real treat, even after long studio sessions or performances.
For the 1960 Telecaster Custom Relic pickups, the Custom Shop opted for a rare single coil pair. While a '63 Telecaster single coil with smooth cut produces the classic Twang at the bridge, a Custom Shop Fat '50s pickup sits at the neck. Originally developed for the Stratocaster, this vintage-style pickup can also convince in a classic Tele. With fat basses, warm mids and bell-like transparent trebles, it enriches the legendary Twang with new sound components that make this Telecaster universally applicable.
The 1960 Telecaster Custom Relic uses reliable vintage tuners that guarantee high tuning stability and smooth functionality. The classical Nocaster Relic bridge contributes significantly to the classical Tele-Twang with its string guidance through the body. At the same time, slanted Gatton string riders ensure perfect intonation.
