Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Heavy Relic

Masterbuilt by Andy Hicks

Light, Loud and Lively!

Killer vintage vibe and hot tone with modern player upgrades!

This superb 1-off Tele from the Fender Custom Shop was Masterbuilt by Andy Hicks. Based on vintage 50s specs but customized with some upgrades for additional playability, functionality, and last but not least, some BIG MEAN GNARLY TONE!

First off, this thing is light, loud and lively. 6.6lbs of pure resonance. The body is premium lightweight Swamp Ash. The neck is 1-piece of Quartersawn Maple, carved to a comfy ’59 Esquire “C” profile with a 9.5” fingerboard radius and 6105 frets for easy bending and the lowest possible action. If you have tiny hands you’ll love this. If you have sausage fingers, you’ll also love this. It’s just great all around. Gatton Saddles for improved intonation with a stock look. My favorite part is that the truss rod is adjustable from the headstock! So you don’t have to remove the neck for adjustments.

Now let’s talk tone – The Twisted Tele pickup set is Hand Wound and these things are MEAN. Super-hot, but also very dynamically responsive, so if you like to work the volume knob there is a lot of diversity available right at your fingertips. Anything for hot, spanky squawk to sparkling twangy goodness. The neck pickup is actually more clear and bell-like than a typical Tele neck pickup, almost like a Strat neck pickup, so you can really get a lot of versatility from that one alone. The bridge pickup is full and well rounded - not thin or brittle. Killer for rock and roll, but also country chickin’ pickin’, blues, pretty much whatever you want to play this guitar will make sound better than you imagined it could.

An all-around a winner. One of the best in the shop right now.
