Product Description
Andertons are pleased to offer this outstanding Levi Perry Masterbuilt ’52 Tele Heavy Relic in Super Faded Aged Ice Blue Metallic. It's faded finish and tasteful ageing combined with its reliced anodised gold pickguard make this Tele one of the most eye-catching and memorable Telecasters we have had in.
With its body crafted from Eastern White Pine this Tele is featherlight, weighing only 7lbs! It's resonant and lively with a beautifully harmonic sustain full of rich overtones that respond well to dynamic playing styles. With its comfortable large C-shaped neck profile and versatile compound fingerboard radius, this Tele works well for all playing styles and is a dream to play up and down the fingerboard.
Key Features
- Heavy Relic - Aged to replicate the mesmerising aesthetics of a working guitarist's workhorse instrument. This relic treatment features the typical playwear, dings and decolourisation found on many of the most lusted-over instruments.
- Quarter Sawn Maple - Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
- Large C - The perfect C-shaped profile for players who like the rounded shape of the C profile but want something a little bigger up and down the neck.
- Twisted Tele/'51 Nocaster - The perfect combination of a Twisted Tele neck pickup for Strat-like chime and sparkle and a '51 Nocaster in the bridge for a pure unadulterated Tele twang.
- Pine Body - Originally used by Fender in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, this super lightweight tonewood is famed for its rounded tone, rich resonance and beautifully harmonic overtones.
Compound Radius
The Compound or sometimes called Conical fingerboard radius ensures maximum comfort and playability no matter what style you are playing or where on the neck you are. From around the 12th fret, the fingerboard radius flattens out to create a faster-feeling neck and to make bending and more technical playing feel effortless.
Levi Perry
Unlike many other Fender Masterbuilders who spent years honing their guitar-building skills outside of Fender, Levi joined Fender straight out of high school. He was born and raised in California and began working as part of the American standard production final assembly team primarily taking care of final setups and checks. In 2015 he moved into the Custom Shop where he first became a Relic Artist before soon joining the Custom Shop service repair team. It was here that he had first-hand in the full day-to-day of a custom shop builder gaining experience in every area of a custom shop guitar build. During this role, he got the opportunity to work on a number of Masterbuilt guitars which eventually acted as his ‘in’ with the prestigious Masterbuilders. In 2018 Levi was promoted to Masterbuilder Apprentice. In interviews, Levi jokes how he was instantly thrown in the deep end getting the chance to work on legendary Fender Custom Shop Game of Thrones series of guitars. He spent 2 years working under John Cruz before getting the chance to work as a floater, learning the best bits from every Fender Masterbuilder. Finally, in 2023, Levi was promoted to Masterbuilder. His passion for the rich history and heritage of Fender as well as his love of learning, ambition and his desire to keep pushing as earnt him a prominent reputation among the Masterbuilder ranks.
