All user reviews for the Fender Custom Shop '63 Relic Telecaster

Fender telecaster's are great guitars that have a soulful and bluesy tone that is very inspiring to write and play music with. These guitars have a rich history and are basically the first electric guitar in existence. These guitars are so iconic and dynamic that gives the guitarist a full range of explosive and inviting tones. These guitars don't have a whole lot of features so if you're looking for something new that has a modern sound to it than this guitar it's not really that. You can play a lot of modern music with this guitar but it certainly doesn't have many of the features that today's boutique guitarists and professional guitarists tend to use. However this is an instrument that has a nice vintage tone and a shiny tone that is great for most styles of music.

SOUNDS


The guitar sound fantastic virtually every setting and musical genre that you can put it. They don't really excel when you give them a load of distortion or any type of drop tuning sounds. However if you put them in touch with the fender clean amplifier or any type of British clean then you're going to get a great sound that is extremely musical and warm. The guitar itself has a nice clean shiny tone and when you use a nice overdrive pedal with a little bit of chorus or delay you can get a great bluesy rock tone. These are fun guitars to play because it has a great feel and allows the guitarist dynamics to come into for full bloom. This is a great sounding instrument and I recommended to any guitarist out there.

OVERALL OPINION


These guitars are built in the United States and they carry that reputation of quality assurance they we find an American built Fender guitar. These are great guitars are very comfortable play. Especially the neck profile which is very smooth and a little bit sooner than the Fender Stratocaster guitar. This gives the person a lot more comfortable playing style and ease of soloing and lead style playing. That is why many country players lean towards these guitars because of the clean comfortability and neck profile which makes playing a little bit easier. These are custom shops so the prices will sky rocket passed regular standard Tele's. So you are looking at over $4000 or so for this guitar.
