Wildwood Guitars offers a number of relic guitars, and all of their instruments are highly sought after by collectors.  Their exclusive guitars include the LTD Dealer Select Wildwood “10s” 1959 Telecaster Custom Relic guitar, a guitar that was built in collaboration with the Fender Custom Shop.  Every one of these guitars was carefully hand-crafted by Fender to insure quality and attention to every detail.  The 1959 Telecaster is available in both custom-built and master-built versions so collectors can select whichever they prefer. There are only a limited number of these relic guitars, however, so collectors must buy quickly. Read more

The Fender Custom Shop has created a limited run of the LTD Dealer Select Wildwood “10s” 1952 Telecaster Relic Guitar.  This guitar is a recreation of the famous 1952 relic guitar that was used by a number of great players, including David Gilmour, Graham Coxon, and Pete Townsend.  Townsend loved his ’52 Telecaster so much that he didn’t smash it like he did some of the other guitars he used.  This recreation is available in three different colors: faded vintage blonde, faded sonic blue, and a faded two-color sunburst.  All three look amazing and feature original detailing.  These relic guitars, like all of the relics built by the Fender Custom Shop, have been artificially aged so that they look like they’ve been around for years.  This includes adding nicks, scratches, and “natural” wear and tear along with aged plastic pieces and rusty hardware.

This Telecaster guitar is modeled after the Telecasters built during 1963 and played by a number of artists.  Like all relic guitars from Fender’s series, this relic guitar has been artificially aged so that it truly looks like a guitar from the 60s.  The finish features nicks, scratches, and other aging signs, plus the hardware is rusted and the plastic has been aged to match the rest of the look.  The 1963 Telecaster Relic guitar comes in four different colors: a three color sunburst, black, Dakota red, and Sonic blue.

While Fender itself didn’t begin building thinline guitars until the late 1960s, that hasn’t stopped them from creating a relic guitar based on the 1950s Telecaster Thinline. The relic was designed by Fender Custom Shop’s senior master builder Chris Fleming, and he did everything he could to include many of the features found on the early Nocaster guitars.  However, there are some differences, the biggest of which is the semi-hollow premium ash body done in a thinline nitrocellulose lacquer finish.  The body also contains an f-hole, something unique to this relic guitar.
