As we push past 2025 and turn the page on Russo Music's sixty-fifth anniversary as a company, we have this Fender Custom Shop '60 Telecaster Custom Heavy Relic built by Fender Master Builder Dennis Galuszka. When we cover the Fender Custom Shop, we normally talk about the incredibly high echelon of quality and artistry at which the workshop functions. Sorry everyone, but today's no different.

A Master's Hand

For sixty-five years as a family-owned company, we called upon the Fender Custom Shop and Dennis Galuszka to craft a one-of-a-kind example of a Telecaster that encapsulates just about everything of what we love about the classic model and maybe a dash of East Coast flavor for the fun of it. With Galuszka's masterful craftsmanship and artistic frame, our vision of a classic Telecaster came to fruition. We've all got a dream Tele, right?

In Fender Custom Shop production, you're allowed the option of having your guitar built on the "Masterbuilt" track. What this entails is a hands-on, one-on-one build process driven by one Fender Custom Shop Master Builder. Dennis Galuszka, a Fender Master Builder since 1999, personally went about bringing our Custom Shop dream to life with his own artistic touch every step of the way. For Masterbuilt guitars, the sky is the limit, according to Galuszka. We're certain that sentiment translates through this Tele, but that's just us, after all.

By the Book

This whole project kicks off with a roasted pine body taking the iconic single-cutaway Telecaster form. Pine, a Fender tonewood with origins dating back to the early '50s, carries similarly to alder with resonance and clarity and prominent characteristics. This cut of pine is then heat-treated for an aesthetic enhancement and added tonal balance. In Custom Shop lingo, this pine body is also "sorted for weight," where, when selecting a body out of a lot, a Custom Shop builder will choose the one that weighs the least. Lightweight and roasted, this pick of pine serves the guitar as a marvelous base from which the rest of the Masterbuilt experience blossoms.

As is all but certain, this Fender Custom Shop Telecaster Custom welcomes a maple neck. Like so many Fenders to come before it, this maple neck connects with a smooth and comfortable touch primed for playing. This maple neck is roasted for an added bit of definition in its tighter, quartersawn grain and a darker tint. For its profile, we elected for a classic, if we could say so ourselves, the 60 Style Oval "C". Measuring from .790" at the first fret to .930" at the twelfth fret, the 60 Style Oval "C" plays seamlessly at every position. Satin lacquer wraps up this quartersawn maple a smooth, distinct, highly playable touch.

Nine millimeter flat lam AAA rosewood appears for a lush and robust fingerboard. This Telecaster Custom brings on a dark and rich cut of rosewood punctuated with Medium Jumbo (6150) fret wire. 6150 Medium Jumbo fret wire is among the most common picks for fret size as it matches space and precision from its highest registers to its lowest. Measuring to 9.5", this fingerboard offers effortless fretting and an easy middle ground between a flatter, modern radius and a rounded, vintage one.

Under the Boardwalk

All this talk of woods is great and all, but how about some Tele twang? At the center of this Masterbuilt Tele, your classic two-single-coil setup lands. Two hand-wound Telecaster single-coils constitute this sonic engine – a Loaded 51 Nocaster in the neck and a 50-51 Blackguard in the bridge. These two Teles together play with all the classic twang and snap you've come to love with some added heat and nuance from their hand-wound design. An onboard Tone Saver treble bleed circuit means that these Teles play with great clarity no matter where on the volume and tone controls you land.

We haven't forgotten about this Tele Custom's hardware, rest assured. A bone nut and Vintage-Style tuning machines meet up at the headstock. Matching a classic 51-54 Tele bridge at the scale's opposite end, strings are easily threaded, stably secured, and effortlessly played no matter how you approach the instrument. Across the entire guitar, you'll find the Fender Custom Shop's Relic hardware finish treatment that simulates classy age and wear.

Of course, there's a couple of aesthetic choices we made that simply can't go unrecognized. The first is Galuszka's signature-stamped neck plate. The second is the Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic lacquer finish treatment. When we set out to get this Telecaster Custom made, we did call on a particular coast-side muse when deciding on the inspiration for the color of its lacquer finish. Asbury Park locals might even recognize what it was before we mention it: the Wonder Bar's seafoam-colored "Tillie" mural. Recognizing our Jersey Shore DNA, could there be a better color to make you feel the salty sea breeze in your hair? Not that we could imagine. Top and back binding additionally wraps this Faded Aged Eden Green finish for an added bit of accent.

Galuszka's personal Heavy Relic finish treatment sought to capture the aesthetic of the Asbury icon with some tasteful wear that allows for some of the roasted pine to shine through alongside a matching headcap. This Masterbuilt Telecaster Custom travels with an included Fender Custom Shop Strat/Tele Brown hardshell case.

You can imagine all the Fenders that can come through a shop in sixty-five years. For this anniversary, we're proud to call this one our own.

good for puppys young dogs, handle is separate, locking carabiners on both ends
Color: Orange, Size: 30FT
This is a good sturdy leash but probably wouldn't stand up to a conscientious chewer if your dogo has that bad habit. I like this one because the handle is separate so it can be used both as a tie out lead and as a regular lead. I also like the "locking" carabiners that should not open accidentally. I bought the thirty foot version because my new puppy loves to go outside then refuse to come back in or let me catch him when I need him to come inside (not catching me silly Hooman). When he's bigger I won't be so concerned about him being outside alone but since I'm in a sort of rural area, we have the occasional fox and hawk around when the sun goes down. Not too much to worry about in the way of pests but every puppy parent has an obligation to protect their young'un till they gain some wisdom. I have stairs in the back of the house, the way this is made I can attach it to the banister easily so I don't even need one of those tie stakes that bury in the ground. The price wasn't bad, the hardware looks sturdy and should last awhile. I just also bought the fifteen foot version, same quality as the thirty foot product I like that the handle is separate so it can be used as a tie down or a leash easily. My only big wish would perhaps be some more color choices, the orange is nice for visibility a yellow would be nice and then maybe some other colors like red/purple would be good as well. The thickness of the rope means that it doesn't "easily" get tangled into a giant knot. I leave the back door open and puppers can go in and out as he likes but he also sometimes runs around in the living room and thus far haven't had any large tangles to unwrap. He did manage to get the leash caught around a piece of tree branch that was on the ground (and complained loudly) but that was only because the branch was too heavy for him to drag the lead off of by himself. These leads are worth the money, I will likely buy a couple more to keep in the vehicle and other locations besides home.

My Go-To Leash for Outdoor Fun and Training with My Lab Puppy
Color: Orange, Size: 15FT
The Joytale Long Leash, specifically the 15-foot model, is an exceptional product that has seamlessly integrated into the daily activities of our black lab puppy. Purchasing this leash has proven to be a decision that greatly benefits both our family and our energetic puppy, especially during our adventures in the backyard and while hiking. The vibrant orange color of the leash stands out, which is not just visually appealing but also significantly enhances safety by ensuring the leash remains highly visible. This feature is particularly useful in varied terrains and during low-light conditions, providing peace of mind that our puppy is always within sight and safe. The leash's design, featuring a removable padded handle, has been a game-changer for comfort. The padding ensures that our hands are protected from any strain or discomfort, even during those longer hikes or when our puppy gets a bit too excited and pulls. This thoughtful inclusion has made our outdoor adventures much more enjoyable, allowing us to focus on the fun and bonding with our puppy rather than any potential discomfort. Equally impressive is the double hook mechanism that the Joytale Long Leash boasts. This feature has instilled a great sense of security in us, knowing that the leash is securely attached to our puppy’s collar or harness. It's especially reassuring during hikes in more challenging terrains where a secure leash attachment is crucial for our puppy's safety. The 15-foot length of the leash has been perfect for our needs. It provides ample space for our black lab puppy to explore and play, whether we're in the backyard or adventuring through hiking trails. This length strikes a perfect balance, offering enough freedom for him to explore while still under our control, facilitating a safe and enjoyable environment for him to learn and grow. Durability is another aspect where the Joytale Long Leash shines. It has stood up to the rigorous daily activities of our puppy, showing no signs of wear and tear. This durability is not only a testament to the quality of the materials used but also to the thoughtful design that has gone into making this leash a reliable accessory for pet owners.

Great long leash, would buy again
Color: Blue, Size: 30FT
Well-made leash, perfect for recall training and other situations where the dog needs a bit of space to roam without getting into trouble. Seems to be comfortable for the dog, as it is not inhibiting him from running around and playing. I bought the 30 foot length 3/8” diameter version. Light weight, good value for the price. Best feature is the locking carabiner, because my rescue pup “moonlights” as an escape artist. 🤣🤣
