Old school design
The relic finish on the CuNiFe Tele Custom is a beautiful feature that gives the guitar an authentic vintage look. Its heavy relic finishing process involves simulating years of use on the guitar to create a unique, aged appearance. This process includes sanding, chipping, and even cracking the paint and applying a nitrocellulose lacquer to give the guitar a vintage feel. As a result, the guitar looks like it has been played for decades, with the finish having the authentic look of battle scars.
The relic finish not only enhances the guitar's aesthetic appeal but also influences its sound. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer used in the relic finish allows the wood to breathe, improving the natural resonance and tonal quality. Additionally, the worn-in feel of the neck offers a comfortable playing experience, as if you have been playing it for years. Get the same look and feel as those from the golden age of electric guitars.
