Equipped with a TV Jones Classic humbucker on the neck and a hand-wound Texas Special singlecoil, the Fender Custom Shop Relic Telecaster Caballo Tono turns out to be a powerful rock guitar with enough horsepower to bring any amplifier to its knees.
The Texas Special
singlecoil on the bridge convinces with its hot Telecaster Twang, which puts itself in the foreground of every band with cheeky dynamics and transforms game nuances with lively dynamics

It convinces with its dynamic and powerful sound, which forms the ideal basis for singing solos and fat rhythm lines with glittering highs.
The Fender Custom Shop Relic Tele Caballo Tono is equipped with the Fender Grease Bucket Tone control, which reduces the treble level without reducing the output power of the pickups.
For the construction of the Caballo Tono, the Fender Custom Shop relies on the proven ingredients: a lightweight alder body meets a one-piece maple neck, which lies comfortably in the hand with its Large C profile and the modern 9.5" fretboard radius and conveys the authentic vintage playing feeling.
The Fender Custom Shop was founded in 1987 with the aim of giving guitarists the best possible instruments to realize their musical dreams.
Initially a small, exquisite two-man business under the direct supervision of the then CEO Billy Schultz, the Custom Shop developed into an established player within the Fender Group and now produces exclusive small series and custom instruments for customers with more than 50 guitar builders, including nine master builders.
At the NAMM Show 1995 the Custom Shop also managed a unique coup with the presentation of the Relic series. The instruments, initially exhibited without information, were considered by visitors to be authentic instruments of the 1950s and 1960s. When it became clear that the Custom Shop team had succeeded in authentically reproducing the look, feel and sound of these rare instruments with a newly built guitar, the Relic instruments became an absolute success and started a boom that continues to this day.
