Fender 60s Tele Relic CF over 3TSB

Fender 60s Tele Relic CF over 3TSB review

The Fender 60s Tele Relic CF over 3TSB is a U.S.-made, limited-run T-style electric guitar specified with an alder body, quartersawn maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and two hand-wound Custom Shop Josefina Twisted Tele single-coil pickups. Its listed color is Charcoal Frost Metallic over 3-Tone Sunburst. The model designation is 1960 Relic, and the supplied specifications describe a vintage-oriented layout with modern wiring.

There are no customer reviews available for this product. This assessment therefore sticks to the published specifications. Those details identify the materials, dimensions, electronics, and included case, but do not establish how an individual instrument feels, sounds, or compares with another example from the limited run.

Body, neck, and playing dimensions

The body is alder, with no separate top listed. The neck is quartersawn maple, paired with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. Fender specifies a 1960s C-shaped neck profile, a 241 mm (9.5-inch) fingerboard radius, and a bone nut. The scale length is 650 mm, approximately 25.6 inches, and the fingerboard carries 21 medium-jumbo frets.

These dimensions give a useful outline of the instrument's layout without revealing details such as neck thickness at particular fret positions. The C profile is a shape description, not a measurement of depth. Likewise, the radius indicates the fingerboard's curvature but does not, by itself, establish string height or setup. Those details are not included in the supplied data.

The 21-fret count is relevant to players comparing this model with guitars that extend farther up the neck. The available information does not specify fret wire dimensions beyond the medium-jumbo category, nor does it give the fingerboard's precise width or neck dimensions. Buyers who rely on those measurements should confirm them with Fender or the seller before ordering.

Pickups and controls

The pickup configuration is SS, meaning two single-coil pickups. The listed units are hand-wound Custom Shop Josefina Twisted Tele pickups. A three-way switch selects the pickup combinations, and the guitar uses modern wiring. No further control details are provided, so the precise control layout, component values, and behavior of each position cannot be confirmed from this specification sheet alone.

Single-coil construction identifies the pickup type, but does not provide enough information to predict a particular output level or tonal response. The supplied data gives no resistance measurements, magnet specifications, or frequency response. The Custom Shop and hand-wound descriptions identify the pickups' stated designation and construction, not a guaranteed sound for every instrument.

Bridge, tuners, and finish details

Hardware includes a vintage Tele-style bridge and vintage Tele-style tuning machines. The specifications list no tremolo system. A four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard is fitted, and the stated finish is Charcoal Frost Metallic over 3-Tone Sunburst. The product name also includes "Relic," while the model is identified as 1960 Relic. The provided information does not describe the specific wear pattern or finish treatment, so those visual details should be checked in product photographs.

The listed string gauge is.010 to.046. That provides a reference for the supplied setup specification, but the sheet does not state the string brand, tuning, action, or whether the guitar ships with exactly that gauge installed. Setup can affect playability, and none of those measurements can be inferred from the hardware list.

What the package and listing establish

A case is included; a separate bag is not. The product is marked as a limited run and has item number 643322. Its availability date is April 2026, and the sales unit is one piece. The listed price is 7999, with no currency specified in the supplied information. Confirm the transaction currency and any applicable taxes or shipping costs with the seller.

For evaluation, the strongest concrete points are the specified wood and neck construction, the 650 mm scale, the rosewood fingerboard, and the named pickup set. The vintage-style bridge and tuners fit the model's stated 1960 Relic direction, while modern wiring indicates that the electronics are not described simply as a period-correct circuit. The sheet does not provide weight, setup measurements, a wiring diagram, or details of the relic finish.

Technical verdict

The Fender 60s Tele Relic CF over 3TSB is specified as a limited-run, U.S.-made T-style guitar with a clearly identified single-coil layout and traditional Tele-style hardware. Its published dimensions and materials allow a useful first comparison, but they do not substitute for inspecting the actual instrument. With no customer feedback available and no individual setup or finish measurements provided, a purchase decision should include a review of current product images and confirmation of any specifications that matter to the player.
