The unique combination of appointments featured on the Postmodern Tele Journeyman Relic brings both vintage enthusiasts and modern players together. Expertly designed with a warm and resonant select ash thinline body, one-piece rift sawn maple neck with ’57-style Soft “V” back-shape and contoured heel, this Tele is sure to captivate players and audiences in its Journeyman Relic lacquer finishes—available in Aged Butterscotch Blonde, Aged White Blonde and Aged Black.
A pair of Custom Shop hand-wound Tomatillo Tele pickups are at the heart of this instrument, providing beautifully well-balanced tone with a dose of twang and snap, while the Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece and RSD J-Bridge offer expressive vibrato and timeless style.
Other premium features include 9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, Fat '50s Tele wiring, 3-way switch, single-ply Cabro-style black phenolic pickguard (parchment on black), vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
