Fender Custom Shop Special Mod 1955 Relic Telecaster

The Special Mod 1955 Tele is inspired by Joe Bonamassa's 1955 Tele, but with a special twist of a 3-tone sunburst that was virtually non-existent on Fender Telecasters of that era. These are limited to only 40 limited Editions and are exclusive to Guitar Center.
