The Story

1969 Rosewood Esquire Journeyman Relic Natural

This is a Zoo-spec'd '69 Esquire by the Fender Custom Shop with a full rosewood body and neck, given a lightly aged Journeyman Relic finish treatment. The Journeyman Relic look really gives the rosewood a cool vibe, taking down the gloss to a surface-swirl sheen with small dings around the body. We love rosewood Teles not only for the George Harrison associations, but the mid-range bump the tonewood gives to the spanky Tele tone. Specs on this one include a comfortable oval "C" shape neck, 6105 frets, and a modern 9.5" radius for easy bends.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
