Electric Guitar Review

If you love the feel of a worn-in guitar or you find yourself longing for a vintage ’60 Telecaster you might be a good match for Fender’s new 1960 Tele Relic.

Built to match the specs of the originals, including vintage body contours, pickups & hardware, the Tele Relic comes straight from the factory looking like its seen more than a few rowdy, sweaty nights on stage.

Heck, these things even sport rusty hardware!

I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Tele man myself, and while I’m not too hip on paying a premium just to have a guitar that looks older than its real age, I really do love the look and feel of a worn-in (but not worn out!) Telecaster – and the 1960 models are real beauties.

The Fender 1960 Tele Relic Features–

• Select Alder Body
• Maple, “C” Shape Neck
• Laminated Rosewood Fingerboard With 21 Vintage Styled Frets
• Dual Vintage ‘63 Tele Single-Coil Pickups
• Master Volume & Master Tone Controls
• 3-Way Pickup Switching
• Original Vintage Style Tele Bridge
• 3-Ply Mint Green Pickguard
• Deluxe Black Hardshell Case With Orange Interior Included

If you’ve got the money, and the urge to own a seriously comfortable guitar, the Relic is a no-brainer… even at the ‘premium’ price it’s a lot cheaper than an original, and with a Relic you actually know where your guitar’s been ;)
