Blending classic Fender history with modern player refinements, the Custom Shop Limited Edition 1963 Telecaster Relic — NAMM #137 — is a standout from the 2026 NAMM Show collection. Fender’s annual NAMM guitars represent the absolute best of what the Custom Shop has to offer: one-of-a-kind builds, exotic finishes, and vintage-inspired detail paired with contemporary playability. This particular Tele, in its dazzling Candy Tangerine finish and carefully aged relic treatment, pays tribute to the golden era of Fender’s early-’60s craftsmanship while offering thoughtful upgrades to suit today’s discerning players.

At its core, this guitar features a lightweight alder body paired with a tinted quartersawn maple neck and dark rosewood fretboard — an iconic 1960’s tonewood combination. The 60s-style Oval "C" neck shape is comfortable in the hand, while the 9.5" radius and 6105 narrow tall frets give it a modern edge, making chording and soloing equally effortless. Hand-wound Custom Shop ’63 Tele pickups are faithful to vintage specs, providing a blend of articulate twang, midrange punch, and smooth warmth. With Modern Tele wiring, you'll also enjoy refined tonal balance and versatility without compromising the vintage vibe.

Whether you’re after a collector-grade showpiece or a dependable workhorse built for the stage, this NAMM Tele offers the best of both worlds. It excels in genres ranging from country and classic rock to blues, soul, and modern indie/alternative thanks to its dynamic pickup response and snappy tonal profile. With its relic hardware, aged finish, and period-correct appointments, this guitar not only looks the part of a vintage legend — it sounds and feels like one too — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
