Thank you for viewing. - Fender USA CUSTOM SHOP Team Built Custom 1963 Telecaster Relic - With noiseless pickups - Fender CUSTOM SHOP Certificate of Authenticity - Includes original hard case - Serial number: R39690 This is a 'Time Machine Series' Team Built Custom (TBC) reissue model of the '63. Purchased in 2008 at Libole, a musical instrument store in Akihabara. Manufactured on November 26, 2007. Although it's a TBC, it's based on a catalog model and features a modified neck for improved playability. As expected from the CUSTOM SHOP, the sound and playability are superb. While there are signs of use, it has the authentic feel of a Custom Shop instrument. The pickups have been replaced with noiseless ones, but the original pickups are also included.
