FS: Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Journeyman Relic.

CloudNine

Absolutely amazing Tele in every way. I am not really a T player at all, but if I was this would be the dream. The perfect level of relic, unbelievably light for an Alder Tele (at 6.8lbs) and balances perfectly on a strap, absolute tone machine, super resonant, rings like a tuning fork. The ‘58 hand wound pickups are exceptional. 

Condition is 9.5+, all case and candy included. Full spec detailed below.

Wow, an absolute corker. IMHO the 59 esquire neck shape is the best fender do. glwts

CloudNine

Bump for Tele perfection.

@IsambardKentucky agreed on the ‘59 Esq. profile, I would definitely seek this sort of shape out on a CS guitar again. The taper on it is beautiful.
