{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-1958-top-load-telecaster-journeyman-relic","title":"Fender Custom Shop 1958 Top-Load Telecaster Journeyman Relic","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a short spell around 1958 the Telecaster loaded its strings through the back of the bridge plate instead of through the body, and that top-load bridge is the point of this model. It changes the angle the strings take over the saddles. The 3-saddle bridge uses threaded steel barrel saddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is 2-piece select ash with a 1-ply Eggshell pickguard, and the 1-piece quartersawn maple neck has a 1957 Soft \"V\" back and a 9.5\" radius with narrow tall frets. Two Custom Shop Hand-Wound '58 Single-Coil Tele pickups are wired the old way: bridge pickup with tone, neck pickup with tone, and a third position with the neck pickup on a fixed, darker tone setting. Journeyman Relic aging sits in the middle of the scale, worn but not beaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Custom 1958 Top-Load Telecaster is the same idea with an as-new finish. The 1959 Telecaster Journeyman Relic moves on a year, with a bridge that takes either stringing and a modern three-way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree finishes: Firemist Red, Faded Surf Green and Super Aged Dirty White Blonde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from guitar to guitar, so the one built for you will differ in the details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: 2-Piece Select Ash\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Eggshell\u003cbr\u003eAging: Journeyman Relic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Quartersawn Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: 1957 Soft \"V\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 9.5\" (241 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: 1-Piece Quartersawn Maple Neck\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Micarta Dot - 0.25\"\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Narrow Tall (6105)\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Heel Adjust\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '58 Single-Coil Tele\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '58 Single-Coil Tele\u003cbr\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003cbr\u003eSwitching: 3-Position Blade: Pos 1.
