Fender Custom Shop ’55 Telecaster Journeyman – Black

This brand new Fender Custom Shop ’55 Telecaster Journeyman delivers the perfect balance of vintage feel and modern playability. Finished in a sleek Black lacquer with subtle Journeyman relic aging, it looks and feels like a well-loved classic without being overdone. Built from ash with a rift-sawn maple neck, this Tele offers the snap, twang, and punch that defined the mid-’50s era. The ’55/’56 hand-wound Tele pickups capture every ounce of vintage character, while the Fat ’50s Tele wiring and 7.25"–9.5" compound radius fingerboard ensure this guitar can hang with modern players too. Equal parts tool and showpiece, this Telecaster is built to go to work.
