’60s Telecaster single-coil pickups provide classic Tele tone
Crystal clear, smooth, and punchy – ask any seasoned Tele player at Sweetwater, and you’ll get slightly different descriptions as to what this iconic guitar is supposed to sound like. Words alone can’t capture the sound, but the ’60s single-coil Telecaster pickups loaded in this this solidbody electric guitar certainly can. The American Vintage ’64 pickups used in the Fender Custom Shop 1963 Time Machine Relic Telecaster utilize Alnico V magnets and staggered polepieces giving you a focused and balanced sound. Fender Custom Shop also fitted the 1963 Time Machine Relic Tele with their Greasebucket tone control, which rolls off highs without adding bass or affecting your volume. This is seriously cool, because it gives you explicit control over your tone onstage without you having to compensate for volume loss.

Quartersawn neck gives you ultra-stability and ultra-playability
The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why this Fender Custom Shop 1963 Time Machine Relic Telecaster solidbody electric guitar features a quartersawn maple neck. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn necks, and less likely to warp, twist or shrink. Your fretting hand will appreciate the 9.5″ radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed arpeggio work. Take it from Sweetwater – the Fender Custom Shop 1963 Time Machine Relic Telecaster will be one of the best playing guitars you’ve ever owned.
