Our shrine to the heritage and legacy of those pioneers who made us what we are today. The Fender Custom Shop reached new heights of craftsmanship with its acclaimed Time Machine series—artfully “relic-ed” guitars and basses that revolutionized the entire concept of “reissue” instruments. The Custom Shop has since ventured even higher by crafting meticulous replicas using the same techniques and tooling used to create the originals all those years ago.

1951 Relic® Precision Bass®

Model : 1502202802
A historic instrument with a custom twist. We’ve taken one of Fender’s most famous instruments and added color and features to make the 2013 version something that could have been built in 1951 but wasn’t. A stunningly crafted tone machine, the 1951 Relic Precision Bass has a hand-selected ash body and quartersawn maple neck, a custom-wound Seymour Duncan® stacked Precision Bass pickup that provides even greater low-end thump, gold hardware and an anodized gold pickguard. Available (for the first time) in three new colors.
