This Used 2023 Fender Custom Shop 52 Telecaster Heavy Relic HS in Super Aged Silver Sparkle is here on consignment. The neck is straight, the frets are still crowned, and the truss rod functions properly. Included with the guitar is the original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
This is an exceptionally cool-looking Telecaster with plenty of talking points. Let's start with the never-before-seen (well, here, anyway) Aged SIlver Sparkle with Black Sparkle Burst! It's been heavily aged, so on top of all its sparkle, it's got some visual grit to sink your teeth into! As badd@$$ as it is pretty, the anodized black aluminum pickguard and pickup ring around the neck humbucker up the visual elements even further. We've laid eyes upon many a' Tele over the years, this one is truly unforgettable!
The neck is made with a nice piece of Rift Sawn Maple and it's carved to a Nocaster U that measures .860" at the 1st fret and .920" at the 12th. It has a fingerboard radius of 9.5" and Jescar 47095 frets. It has a fast, glassy feel that feels perfect. The 1.65" nut width and 25.5" scale length combine for a familiar feel.
The neck pickup is a Seymour Duncan Antiquity, and the Bridge Pickup is a Hand Wound Chicago Special Telecaster Bridge Pickup. Traditional controls of a master volume, master tone, and 3-way pickup selector make finding the tone you are searching for easy. Personally, I'm digging the anodized black aluminum pickguard and pickup ring around the neck humbucker. The HS or Hum SIngle Tele is a great choice for the player looking for a thicker lead tone, darker jazzier sounds, but also the traditional cluck from the bridge pickup.
