The 1951 Telecaster® Super Heavy Relic® captures the raw essence of Fender's revolutionary first solid-body electric guitar. Crafted in the Fender Custom Shop, this instrument features a carefully selected two-piece ash body with an offset seam and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that showcases an authentically worn appearance.
