Fender Custom Shop Tomatillo Telecaster Custom Journeyman Relic, Super Faded Aged Lake Placid Blue

Reimagined by the Custom Shop, the Limited Edition Tomatillo Tele Custom Relic is packed with unique features to inspire any player. Its hand-wound Tomatillo Tele® pickups deliver sweet, spicy tones with lively response, featuring an open-cover neck pickup for precise adjustment and a reverse-angle bridge pickup for fatter highs and tighter bass.

Modified ’51 Nocaster® wiring enables seamless blending, with a retrofittable Fat '50s Tele control assembly included. The two-piece ash body, finished in Relic flash-coat lacquer, comes in Super Faded Aged Lake Placid Blue, accented with parchment binding.

The AA flame quartersawn maple neck features a 1957 “soft-V” profile and a vintage compound-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow-tall frets. Additional highlights include a reverse Nocaster bridge with RSD compensated brass saddles, a single-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style tuners, and a bone nut. Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, this Tele is a true standout.
