This Limited Edition 1957 Telecaster Super Heavy Relic is finished in Faded/Aged Sonic Blue, with bold, unapologetic aging that captures the look and feel of a Tele that’s spent decades on stage. The lacquer finish shows deep wear and checking throughout, while the lightweight ash body keeps the response lively and resonant despite the heavy relic treatment. It’s a visually striking take on a ’50s Tele that still feels rooted in tradition. The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable ’57-style soft “V” back shape, offering a familiar vintage grip that sits naturally in the hand. A 9.5" radius and narrow tall frets give it a more forgiving, modern playing feel, while Custom Shop hand-wound ’58 Tele pickups deliver classic snap and clarity with a touch of added body. Paired with Fat ’50s Tele wiring, it covers everything from articulate cleans to authoritative bite with ease. Comes with Deluxe Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity.
