The Story

Masterbuilt Greg Fessler Thunderbird Telecaster Relic Electric Guitar

A work of art that you can plug into an amplifier? Count us in! This is a very unique Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt creation, a collaboration between builder Greg Fessler and artist Dave Newman. The guitar itself is a Tele relic emblazoned with art throughout the body, neck and fretboard with Dave Newmans Thunderbird art and logo on the top of the body. The art reminds us of both Native American designs as well as classic Americana imagery that both come together nicely on this guitar. It’s loaded with two Josefina handwound ’63 Tele pickups and built of an ash body with an oval “C” maple neck for a comfortable feel.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Strap, Cable, Polish Cloth, Paperwork
