Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster ‘Nocaster Blonde Relic’ Preowned 2007

Few guitars carry the weight of history like the Fender Nocaster. Built for a few short months in 1951 before the name was dropped, these early single-cut Broadcasters and Teles became legends in their own right, and the Fender Custom Shop’s 1951 Nocaster recreates that moment with a lightweight ash body, a one-piece maple neck, and the classic Nocaster Blonde nitrocellulose finish. This 2007 example wears a light relic treatment, with a touch of gentle, lived-in wear that lets the finish and hardware look as though they’ve been played for years without losing the clean, handsome lines of the original design. Ideal for country, blues, rock and roll, and roots players who want that unmistakable Tele twang with real vintage character.

This guitar has been set up for a slightly different voice than stock, with a Fralin P-90 in the neck position and a Fralin Telecaster pickup at the bridge, both mounted behind a tortoiseshell pickguard for a warmer, fuller sound with plenty of bite. The original pickups and original pickguard are included in the case, so the guitar can be returned to factory specification at any time. It's playing wonderfully, and it sounds incredible - if you're looking for a beefier Tele tone with classic looks, this is the one! Supplied in its original hardshell case, though the certificate of authenticity and case candy are not included.
