2022 Fender Custom Shop LTD '55 Telecaster Journeyman Relic White Blonde

The 2022 Fender Custom Shop LTD '55 Telecaster Journeyman Relic in White Blonde pays homage to one of the most enduring and classic electric guitars in history. This model features a carefully crafted two-piece select ash body finished in heavy checked nitrocellulose lacquer, reminiscent of the original 1955 Telecaster. Its standout feature is the roasted AAA flame maple neck, showcasing a striking flame pattern and finished with a Heavy Relic treatment on the back to replicate the feel of a well-played vintage instrument. The neck sports a chunky ’54 "U" profile and a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard fitted with 21 narrow tall frets, perfect for replicating the classic Telecaster tone and playability.

The guitar is equipped with period-correct hand-wound ’55/’56 pickups paired with a three-way switch and Fat ’50s Tele wiring, offering a rich balance of warmth and twang that cuts through any mix. Traditional elements such as the single-ply parchment pickguard, ’55 Tele bridge with smooth barrel steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and disk string tree complete the setup. This limited edition guitar also comes with a tweed Custom Shop case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, making it a faithful and premium recreation of the iconic ’55 Telecaster.
