The Fender Custom Shop '70s Telecaster Thinline Journeyman Relic captures the airy resonance and bold power of the early 1970s. This limited-edition model features a semi-hollow Alder body with a classic F-hole, finished in a distinctive Aged Olympic White Journeyman Relic lacquer. Equipped with authentic CuNiFe Wide Range Humbuckers and a premium Flame AA Quartersawn Maple neck, this Telecaster is designed for players seeking elite "hi-fi" clarity and effortless playability.

The semi-hollow body reduces weight while adding a unique acoustic-like resonance that solid-body guitars simply cannot match. The neck is a visual and tactile highlight, carved from Flame AA Quartersawn Maple into a comfortable 1957 Style Soft "V" profile. It features a 9.50" fingerboard radius and 21 Medium Jumbo (6150) frets, providing a versatile surface for both complex chording and high-speed lead work. A contoured heel allows for unparalleled access to the upper registers. This model is powered by a pair of Wide Range CuNiFe Humbuckers. Originally designed by Seth Lover, these pickups use rare copper-nickel-iron magnets to deliver a rich, bell-like tone that retains the signature Fender chime even under high gain. The Bobbed Telecaster Bridge is fitted with RSD (Research Special Design) saddles, which are compensated for improved intonation and a lower profile for maximum comfort.
