Fender Telecaster 52 Heavy Relic BTB Masterbuilt Dale Wilson (2024)

If only the best is good enough when it comes to Blackguard, sooner or later you will end up with Dale Wilson. Even on the second-hand market the Fender grandmaster's Teles are among the most sought-after instruments of all. We are therefore all the more pleased to be able to offer you this magnificent specimen in mint condition. The very special magic of a Wilson Tele is made up of several factors, ...and yet it is more than the sum of its parts. The most characteristic features are of course the super authentic Heavy Relicing with which Dale has finished the body in the most beautiful “Smoked Blonde Butterscotch”, as well as the phenomenal flame neck. The exclusive finish looks wonderfully rocked here, not only due to numerous hairline cracks and considerable paint abrasion, but also due to the interesting color shades. But it doesn't stop with the top look there. The perfect lightweight of just 3190 grams certainly also contributes to the feel-good factor from the very first second. And as soon as you start playing you simply float in seventh Tele heaven. The strong neck with its “52 Style U” profile gives the guitar excellent resonance and when plugged into an amp, the two “Josefina Handwound 51 Nocaster” pickups produce a fantastic sound with enormous fullness and complexity. The chords just sparkle out of the loudspeakers and are a real joy. At the bridge it's nice and direct, wiry and fat with a great attack, whereby the tone always sounds round and never too sharp. Twang at its best! Wonderfully bell-like in the intermediate position and simply fantastic Blues on the neck. Fat, differentiated, bell-like - a perfect Tele sound that is convincing across the board, both clean and distorted. It's simply incredible what Dale Wilson gets out of this simplest of electric guitars with the help of Josefina Campos' pickup skills! If you want to treat yourself to the ultimate Tele experience in mint condition, you certainly shouldn't wait too long...
