This Fender Custom Shop '53 Telecaster Relic is a modern tribute to one of the most iconic electric guitars in history, designed to capture the essence of the original '53 Telecaster. This '53 Telecaster Relic delivers vintage charm and timeless tone, as well as the Fender Custom Shop's iconic relic treatment. 

The body of the '53 Telecaster Relic is carved from 2-piece ash, sorted by the Fender Custom Shop for weight to ensure that this instrument is as light as possible. Attached, a AA Flame Maple cut to a '50-Style "U" profile makes this guitar as comfortable as a Fender Custom Tele should be. With a .900 neck spec that remains the same from fret one to twelve, this neck remains consistent from the nut to butt. In comparison to the relatively straight neck specs, fingerboard boasts a 9.50" radius, and is topped with Micarta Black .250 inlays spaced wide, as well as 21 Narrow Tall frets. Some tasteful fret ghosting starts heavily in the cowboy-chord range and diminishes as it moved up the neck.

This Tele comes loaded with handwired FCS Tele Texas Special pickups in both neck and bridge, wound specifically for a vintage-inspired voicing in each of their respective positions. These pickups are controlled by a simple three-way pickup selector, as well as a Tone and Volume knob.

In the hardware department, vintage-style tuning machines with the Fender logo, a bone nut for superior tone transfer and sustain, and a relic'd '51-'54 Telecaster bridge are all relic'd to match the appearance of the rest of the guitar. Fender Custom Shop's Relic treatment is the star of the show here, leaving this guitar with a finish that resembles that of a guitar born in the '50s and played, albeit taken care of greatly, over the years. There's minor wear down to the wood in the form of buckle rash, forearm wear, and minor dings here and there. The back of the neck is still finished with nitro lacquer. 

The guitar comes housed in a deluxe FCS Tele tweed case, providing stylish protection for this stunning '53 Telecaster.

Not gonna lie Val kind of annoyed me at the beginning but she grew on me!! Her men are chef’s kisses!!! Holt annoys me some but I can let it slide. I already bought part two so I’m going to be reading that in between work phone calls!!!! DON’T TELL MY BOSS 😂😂😂😂

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.
