Fender Custom Shop LTD 1972 Telecaster Custom Thinline Relic Black Pearl (108)

A Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1972 Telecaster Custom Thinline Relic in Black Pearl that combines some of Fender's most desirable vintage-era features into a single Custom Shop creation. Built with a roasted ash semi-hollow body and finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, this Tele delivers exceptional resonance, reduced weight, and outstanding acoustic response. The Black Pearl finish paired with tortoise binding and a period-correct Thinline aesthetic creates a striking visual presence while the relic treatment provides the feel of a well-loved vintage instrument.

The roasted flame maple neck features a comfortable '63 Strat Style "C" profile and a round-lam rosewood fingerboard for a familiar broken-in feel. Electronics pair a Wide Range HB Cunife neck pickup with a hand-wound Loaded '51 Nocaster bridge pickup, offering everything from warm, articulate humbucker tones to classic Tele twang and bite. Dual stacked controls allow independent volume and tone adjustments while preserving the clean look of the instrument. Combined with the semi-hollow construction and Custom Shop craftsmanship, this Telecaster delivers exceptional versatility and character.
