Fender Custom Shop Unboxing - 19 March 2020 (Lockdown Special)

[@patbuchananfan964]

That super-heavy relic Telecaster is a real gem.

[@alanbartlett6082]

Thanks for brightening up our days. That Ocean Turquoise Thinline was surely made for me. Hope everyone at Peach Guitars, your families and customers stay safe and well.

[@keithstokes2366]

I have a Peach ordered LPB over sunburst heavy relic 50's thinline.... the one played in the vid a while back. Beautiful guitars......

[@PeachGuitars]

You sir, have made a great choice! I spec'd that guitar and instantly fell in love with it, it combined all my favourite Tele elements and the finish, well, that was just knock-out! Enjoy it, I'd love to see how it ages, keep me posted, it's a special guitar! - Ryan

[@keithstokes2366]

@@PeachGuitars Hi Ryan... you designed a great spec!! Did u realise it's the only one in the world!? The part number is unique and confirmed by the custom shop! Send me an email [e-mail] Happy to stay in touch. Kern to know anything you can add

[@Koogieman68]

Last Friday afternoon I felt pretty flat but watching this made me feel so much better in what are undeniably gloomy times. Don't underestimate how much of a difference you can make just by posting these videos. I look forward to watching you unbox may more guitars I can't afford. Take care to you all.

[@PeachGuitars]

Thanks a lot Koogieman68! We're making a real effort to continue getting content out to everybody who is locked down, when times are tough what could be better than watching some ace Fender Custom Shop guitars!

[@pablo9364]

Koogieman68 you need to get out more

[@stevemorse108]

I just bought the Seth lover Humbucker Nocaster and it is out of this world sound wise!!!!!! Mine is even more heavily reliced and feels and sounds like a genuine vintage and it so different from my other instruments....I LOVE it!!!!!!!

[@dragan4658]

Beautiful fenders but out of reach for many people as they're so expensive. Also, whats with the giant rolls of tp?🤣. That gold tele is very cool, just missing the belly cut, it erks me that fender cheaps out on essentials (imo) but are expensive! Waiting for Jack to play these gr8 guitars! Thank you and Stay safe gents!

[@stevengunter811]

That super heavy relic Telecaster is beyond cool . These guys at Fender are artist for sure ! Thank you for sharing these videos !

[@PeachGuitars]

It's incredible isn't it! These kind of relics always divide opinion but you can't argue with the level of artistry poured in to each one.

[@Gretev1]

Relics have been looking more and more realistic recently. Still doesn‘t look quite like original wear but it‘s getting closer.

[@UmVtCg]

Nah it's not, they look like shit. It's screaming for a refinish. Want an old guitar? Wait a while and play the hell out of it. If you own a fake old guitar, cause that's what they are, you are nothing but a fucking poser.

[@darrenc8776]

@@UmVtCg yeah yeah. Change the fucking record grandad

[@Twizzlemenizzle1]

@@UmVtCg don't watch the videos if you don't like relics you boring twat. It's fender custom shop, it's what they do. People love them and were sick of your stupid miserable fucking comments.

[@ZRJZZZZZ]

The problem with relic’ing is that it distracts the building team who should be focused on implementing the engineering which contributes to playability and sound. It also adds to the cost of the instrument. I suspect that the relic process might take more time than simply building the guitar per the specs.

[@subzero308]

Relic'ing is a waste of money.

[@j_freed]

19:00 - not just the neck profile, that Strat's more opaque yellow finish and body contours seem to me more like a Sixties just before CBS bought Fender - except of course the one piece neck. It's an amalgam of features I would say like many of these 'revision issues' are.

[@jimmypaulgaard3644]

You gentlemen bring in all the best guitars. When I want to find pictures or info on a NAMM guitar I just go right to your videos and I know it will turn up. In this instance I had purchased the 51 tele in super heavy relic form and had only seen a picture of it at the show. In the picture it was covered in what appeared to be business cards. Thank you guys. Your amazing.

[@PeachGuitars]

Thanks Jimmy, we try our best to deliver the most comprehensive overview we can, we're glad you enjoy our work! Hope you're digging the '51!

[@bg2027]

The gold Tele with the black pickguard is really quite different, really cool

[@90sPunkRockCovers]

Man, I could watch these videos all day long and just salivate to all of these awesome Custom Shop guitars.

[@j_freed]

The Ash body butter scotch esquire has a completely brand new shiny looking pickguard, but I suspect they at least put a lacquered Bakelite one on it and yes that will get a little bit scuffed and scratched little bit of playing, but it should already be pre-worn to match the guitar.

[@jacttanna2353]

Every time you do one of these unboxings, there is always at least one guitar that makes me wish I was a millionaire. Today, there are two - that blue thin line, and the super heavy relic with the humbucker in the neck. I've seen a couple of teles that were that worn. Always seemed to be owned by really good players.

[@davidw4664]

Thanks for sharing guys, I don't get the whole relic thing though. Course I don't get buying jeans with holes in em already either. lol

[@davidw4664]

Updating 6 months later- I have a heavy relic WildWood 10 '61 Strat now that I totally love. haha things can change and I retract my snark from 6 months ago. Cheers

[@aaronperrotta7055]

I love the super heavy relics, but only butterscotch blackguard or sunburst Tele customs.

[@ajporterfield]

That blue thinline tele...my fav!

[@dermpath101]

I agree, I love the heavy relic.

[@lucasbarnes8035]

Peach guitars is the best! Glad to hear business is still good!

[@steveymoon]

That gold Tele... ❤️

[@nicoladolby2154]

Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it. The gold NOS tele was stunning!

[@j_freed]

The 72 Custom looks like a great guitar, with not a skinny neck and Fender made these Custom Shop WRH pickups that are closer to the real deal 1970s originals (CuNiFe magnetic material for the six adjustable polepieces, whereas the Fender USA versions are just constructed like standard PAF style pickups.)

[@colinrobertson4569]

Guitars, life's constant. Thanks for the videos.

[@Xenious]

Thanks for doing this! Stay well and that super relic was sweet!

[@aske3211234]

That super heavy relic is beautifully done

[@Sjguitarpnw]

Thank you for these unboxing videos! I am a relic fan myself to a degree. I like to see a very mild relic job done but the heavy relics aren't my jam. I'm glad they make someone happy out there! Stay safe!

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Thanks guys, I only ever buy custom shop/masterbuild, people dont realise the quality in a 5k guitar is the problem. I wont even play any guitar under 3k these days. Also it is a good investment, I've made money on several of the vintage instruments I've sold recently (although cost me more than a poultry 5k !) Invest in the best and you will be rewarded, an older guitar in particular is a great investment and looks great on hanging on my home office wall !

[@subzero308]

Relic guitars aren't vintage 😭💀😂 their just stupid and over priced.

[@mrtambourineman6107]

@@subzero308 er I never said a relic was the same as a vintage by the way! Also, Fender Custom Shop relic guitars are NOT overpriced! They are amazing looking, sounding and feeling instruments. I only buy Custom Shop guitars these days because they're so bloody good! Best guitars on the planet! To me they are well worth it. Cant beat a nice relic Fender bro

[@alexgarnett5373]

love the video guys ... i really love that clicking noise of the cases too!

[@paulcowart3174]

[@dragan4658]

Sorry but I laugh when people pay extra for "relicked" guitars. We all know we will scratch them, I prefer to achieve relicking by using them! Love the blue thinline tele but again no belly cut 🙄😖!

[@Twizzlemenizzle1]

Yawn

[@pablo9364]

Dragan I’ve seen heavy relics guitars second hand for sale and they’re described as ‘mint’ condition. How would you know it’s mint ?

[@dragan4658]

@@pablo9364 its not hard to tell a factory relic from self relic, keep in mind mint means overall condition of an item relatively close to how it was when it was new.

[@keithadams812]

You can't do a belly cut on a hollow guitar....

[@dragan4658]

@@keithadams812 yes you can. One example is the Eric Johnson thinline.... It also has a forearm cut too.

[@DarrenJohnson1973]

yes businesses have to try to keep trading but given the current global situation should we really be allowing imports into the country (the company that i work for as stopped accepting overseas shipment 2 months ago)...

I agree Relic guitars r dumb as hell.

[@corinjack]

Mon the biff!👍

I remember when heavy relic custom shop guitars were just old guitars that the owners treated like shit and didn't take care of.

[@UmVtCg]

That is the only way these guitars should be created. Relicing should be a felony.

[@PeachGuitars]

As controversial a topic as relics seem to be, the Custom Shop is thriving because of them. They are expanding constantly and supplying what people are demanding, which at the moment appears to be relics!

[@peterschattmann8298]

While I can't put anyone down for personal tastes, I will never understand the whole 'relic' thing. I do find old beat-up guitars that are playable cool but would never buy a new guitar in anything other than pristine condition, especially when it carries a premium price tag. All these relic guitars scream poser to me and the inauthenticity (is that a word?) is repulsive. I say that as someone who loves old things that carry a patina that speaks of a life lived. These relic guitars seem like an expression of simulation, however hollow. Ask youself, would Keith Richards buy this? I doubt it. He might find an old an old guitar that has developed a personality through the years that he can exploit with his hands. It might also look beat up. These new guitars will never have that personality. They will never carry the real flaws that bring an individual beauty to the surface. In closing, those are my personal feelings. Please don't condemn me for that.

[@RockDrillSuite]

It’s ironic that Keith unknowingly started all of this “relic” insanity when he ordered one for a concert but specifically needed it to look worn.

[@darrenc8776]

@@RockDrillSuite That's not true. Fender made that up. I've read a few times now that the Keith Richards story wasn't the reason for the relics. It was the custom shop back in 87 that came up with the idea as a bit of a side project never really thinking there would be a demand. I think they ended up taking them to the Namm show and the rest is history

[@hikinguphigh]

Respectfully no one cares, I don’t mean that in a rude way, it’s already been said thousands of times. You buy what you like, I’ll buy what I like, no ones going to change there mind because of what you think, if you see a video of relics why click if you don like. Cheers

[@pablo9364]

Peter Schattmann I agree with most of what you say as I think a lot of people do but there are many that like the the relics . It’s what the person thinks whose buying the guitar that matters the most. I think my fender player mustang is better than any custom shop guitar but many will disagree with that but it’s what I think that matters the most about MY guitar. I don’t care what others think about my guitar only what I think if you see what I mean.
