A Vintage Icon Reborn: Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster® Journeyman Relic

When it comes to authentic Fender heritage, few instruments capture it as precisely as those from the Fender Custom Shop. In 2024, we have already received one of the most compelling releases — the 1959 Telecaster® Journeyman Relic® in Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst, a guitar that brings a defining era back to life.

This model reflects a unique and short-lived period in Telecaster history, where materials, construction and tone came together in perfect harmony.

▲ 🎯 Select Ash Body with Journeyman Relic Aging

The body is crafted from 2-piece select ash, a classic Fender tonewood known for its articulate highs, tight low end and strong midrange presence.

Finished in Flash Coat Lacquer with Journeyman Relic aging, the guitar delivers the look and feel of a well-preserved vintage instrument.

The Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst finish adds depth, warmth and unmistakable vintage appeal.

▲ 🎯 Rift Sawn Maple Neck for Stability and Feel

The neck is built from 1-piece rift sawn maple, offering superior stability and resistance to warping.

The Large "C" neck profile provides a substantial, comfortable grip reminiscent of late-'50s Telecasters.

A thin Flash Coat Lacquer finish ensures a smooth and natural playing experience.

▲ 🎯 Maple Fingerboard with Modern Radius

The fingerboard is integrated into the neck (one-piece construction) and made of maple.

The 9.5" radius offers a modern balance — comfortable chord work and smooth bending.

Equipped with 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets, the guitar delivers precision and control while maintaining vintage character.

▲ 🎯 Hand-Wound Texas Special™ Pickups

This Telecaster features Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special™ single-coil pickups.

They provide:

• strong midrange

• bright attack

• classic Tele twang

• powerful yet articulate output

Combined with Fat ‘50s wiring, the tone is full, dynamic and responsive.

▲ 🎯 Vintage Hardware and Versatile Bridge

The guitar includes a 3-saddle vintage-style Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles.

It supports both:

• top-load stringing

• string-through-body setup

Additional premium features include:

• vintage-style Fender tuners

• bone nut

• wing string tree

• nickel/chrome hardware
