Yuriy Shishkov, now one of Fender’s most senior and respected “master builders”, has been with the company for just over two decades, making quite the splash in his time there with masterpieces like the Violincaster and what some consider to be the best hand at replicating vintage Fenders with a modern twist.

This incredible 50’s style Tele features a blonde body, nicely relic’d by one of the absolute masters at the game, with a beautiful flamed maple neck with a larger C profile, still larger than the average tele but not as monstrous as some 50’s blackguards. There’s also a 1963 style Bigsby mounted to the guitar, run through a Jazzmaster style bridge for great tuning stability.

In great condition, though obviously it’s hard to tell with a relic. Plays great, lots of life in the frets. Comes with the original hardshell case with all included case candy.
