The 2023 Fender Custom Shop's Limited Edition Twisted Telecaster® Custom Journeyman Relic® is a guitar masterpiece. It comes with a vibrato tailpiece, reverse control plate, and a stunning Journeyman Relic 2-Color Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This finish mimics the look of a well - loved instrument that has had a long life, perfect for home sessions, casual jams, and weekend gigs. Every detail, from the subtle cracks to the hardware aging, is carefully recreated. The select ash body with parchment binding pairs nicely with the rift - sawn maple neck in a soft '57 - style 'V' profile. The reverse control plate within easy reach allows for smooth volume swells. Two Custom Shop hand - wound Twisted Tele pickups offer different sounds, including powerful Telecaster and shimmering Stratocaster tones. Adjusting the neck and bridge pickup coils can create a rich midrange. The Fat '50s wiring ensures balanced volume and tone controls with less high - end loss. The Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece gives a unique pedal - steel - like shimmer. Other great features are a 9.5 - inch radius maple fingerboard with 21 narrow - tall frets, a bone nut, a 3 - way pickup switch, a single - ply parchment pickguard, vintage - style tuners, a wing string tree, and it comes with a deluxe hard shell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
Using your Fender Twisted Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic is a breeze. When you play, the reverse control plate near your pinky makes it easy to adjust the volume. You can also play around with the two hand - wound pickups to get different tones. For a rich midrange, try adjusting the neck pickup coil height and shortening the bridge pickup coil. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in the deluxe hard shell case when not in use. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep the nitrocellulose lacquer finish looking great. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure the tuning machines are working well. If you have any questions, the certificate of authenticity might have some additional tips from the manufacturer. Enjoy playing your amazing guitar!
