Fender Custom Shop 1957 Tele Super Heavy Relic Aged Olympic White

Fender Custom Shop 1957 Tele Super Heavy Relic Aged Olympic White
Serial Number: CZ589429
Weight: 7.6 lbs.

This Fender Custom Shop 1957 Telecaster Super Heavy Relic in Aged Olympic White recreates one of the most desirable early Telecaster specs, built with period-correct 5/4 quartersawn maple and a genuinely rare all-maple neck-and-fretboard construction straight from the earliest Telecaster era. The 2-piece ash body wears Super Heavy Relic nitrocellulose lacquer in Aged Olympic White — Fender's most aggressive relic tier, going beyond standard Heavy Relic wear for an even more convincingly aged, well-worn look. At 7.6 lbs., it's a lightweight, comfortable build true to vintage ash-body Teles.

The 4-bolt quartersawn maple neck carries a '57-style Soft "V" profile (.850" at the 1st fret, .990" at the 12th) — a substantial vintage carve that fills the hand — in dark-tinted, heavily relic'd nitrocellulose lacquer, topped with a relic'd maple fretboard, black Micarta dot inlays, and a 9.5" radius across 21 narrow tall frets and the full 25.5" scale length. A 1.650" bone nut leads to vintage-style Fender-logo tuners relic'd to match the rest of the hardware, while the classic three-saddle Telecaster bridge with steel barrel saddles delivers that signature snappy, twangy attack.

Electronics include hand-wound to single-coil Telecaster pickups at neck and bridge that deliver bright, articulate bridge tones and warm, rounded neck tones true to the earliest Telecaster era, wired through a simple volume, tone, and 3-way blade selector setup, dressed with a relic'd parchment '52-style pickguard for period-accurate looks. Whether you're a rockabilly or vintage country player chasing genuine late-'50s Telecaster tone and feel, a Custom Shop collector drawn to the rare all-maple neck spec and Super Heavy Relic treatment, or a player who wants the lightest, most resonant Telecaster body wood, this build delivers the real vintage experience. This Fender Custom Shop 1957 Telecaster Super Heavy Relic Aged Olympic White (Serial #CZ589429) includes a Fender Custom Shop tweed hardshell case.
