Telecaster 1968 Replica Relic'd by Trevor Vallis




Got this cheap, rat Telecaster replica from Trevor Vallis, a UK's specialist.





FENDER TELECASTER CUSTOM HYBRID / LIGHT RELIC
GUITAR BUILD SOLID POPLAR BODY
AGED WHITE NITROCELLULOSE FINISH
BLACK 3 PLY (BWB) PICKGUARD
GENUINE FENDER 'TWISTED' PICKUP SET
FENDER BRIDGE WITH 60s SPIRAL SADDLES
SCHALLER 70S STYLE TUNERS / MACHINE HEADS
This guitar is modelled on the 1968 Fender Telecaster.
The Guitar Build poplar body has been hand relic'd to give it a road worn look.
Fitted with a Fender ashtray bridge with spiral saddles.
Finished in white nitrocellulose and aged.
Fitted with a black 3 ply (BWB) pick guard / scratch plate.

Genuine Fender 'Twisted' pickups have been installed.
CTS 250k pots on both the volume and tone controls.
Oak Grigsby 4 way lever switch.
High quality PIO .047uf tone capacitor.

The guitar has a good quality Fender Squier maple neck with maple fretboard and Schaller 70s tuners. 
It has been stripped, set up and then finished with a vintage amber tint and several coats of nitrocellulose. 
The neck has been hand relic'd and a 1968 decal applied. 

Excellent intonation, low action, almost no fret wear and a warm smooth feel.




Love it.
