FENDER 1963 Telecaster Heavy Relic RW Olympic White #R110518
Custom Shop Telecaster with Twisted Tele Single Coils and Heavy Relic Nitro-Finish, including case and certificate
With its classic features and traditional construction, the Fender 1963 Telecaster Heavy Relic RW Olympic White #R110518 turns out to be a genuine reissue model of the famous Tele from the early sixties. The instrument of the Fender Custom Shop recreates the look, feel and charm of the popular model and uses the highest quality components and tonewoods.
Classic Telecaster construction with Round-Lam Fretboard
The original design of the instrument is based on a two-piece alder body with traditional dimensions and a bolt-on maple neck made of Quarter Sawn Maple, whose oval C-profile, in contrast to the strong necks of the 1950s, appropriately represents the slimmer design of their era. Also typical of the Early Sixties manufacturing is the Round-Lam fretboard made of rosewood, which closes the neck from above and thus dispenses with the Skunk Stripe made of walnut.
The Fender 1963 Telecaster Heavy Relic RW Olympic White #R110518 from the Fender Custom Shop represents true specifications of the original 1963 Telecaster model.
Custom Shop Twisted Tele Single Coils
The two hand-wound Custom Shop Twisted Tele Single Coils are popular classics among Tele fans and give the sound of the Fender 1963 Telecaster Heavy Relic RW Olympic White its unmistakable twang and growl, which makes it an unmistakable all-purpose instrument of Western Swing, Country, Blues and Rock. The Tele is switched with a modern wiring, which is composed of a 3-way blade switch for pickup selection and common Master Volume and Master Tone controls.
Vintage-correct Hardware
In addition to the construction and sound, the Hardware finish, which was chosen with the original in mind, is the perfect finishing touch. A traditional 3-saddle vintage-style Telecaster bridge is used for the Tele's basic earthy character, and its hardtail construction is instrumental in evoking the Tele's tonal image, while vintage-style tuners at the headstock provide the popular model's unmistakable silhouette.
