Product Description
Key Features
- Journeyman Relic Nitro Finish – Expertly aged and relic’d to look like it has been your most prized position for over 50 years. Lightly aged and checkered with some honest playwear but generally in a condition that shows this guitar was meticulously looked after and cherished.
- Quarter Sawn Maple - Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
- ‘63 C - This comfortable vintage-styled C feels comfortable and down the neck and is a well-suited middle ground for all hand sizes and playing styles.
Josefina
With a direct link right back to Leo Fender and the original production of Fender’s instruments in the 50s, Josefina Campos is keeping Fender's pickup-making torch burning brightly! Selected by the ‘Queen of Tone’ Abigale Yabarra (Fender’s original pickup winder from the early 50s) to be her apprentice before she retired, Josefina’s hand-wound pickups are the sum of all Abigale’s and Leo’s knowledge. These Twisted Tele pickups merge the boundaries between the crystal, bell-like chime of a Start and the higher output twang of a Tele. Built using Alnico 5 for an overall vintage-styled tonality that sits comfortably with all playing styles. The neck pickup features a taller bobbin for increased wind space and is wound using Formvar-coated magnet wire for enhanced Strat-like glassiness. The bridge pickup bobbin height is decreased and Enamel-coated wire is used for a darker, warmer tone with a more open, full-bodied midrange. These uniquely tailored pickups are well-balanced and truly offer a best-of-both-worlds Fender electric guitar tone.
Original Woods
Fender's original wood combination of an Ash body partnered up with a Maple neck. The Ash provides a sweet and resonant well-balanced guitar tone which is brilliantly complimented by the brightness and responsiveness of the maple neck.
