Model & Desirability:
1960 Telecaster Custom Relic with double binding on the body, rosewood fretboard, and matching red headstock. Double-bound Custom Shop Telecasters typically command a slight premium over standard single-color relics.
Condition:
Factory Relic finishes are designed to look aged and worn from the Custom Shop. Because the wear is intentional, minor play wear does not significantly diminish value compared to standard gloss finishes.
