Product Description
Key Features
- Journeyman Relic Nitro Finish – Expertly aged and relic’d to look like it has been your most prized position for over 50 years. Lightly aged and checkered with some honest playwear but generally in a condition that shows this guitar was meticulously looked after and cherished.
- 1969 U - Not to be confused with the larger U-shaped necks of the early ‘50s, the ‘69 U-shaped neck profile offers players a fast-feeling neck with more pronounced shoulders.
- Quarter Sawn Maple - Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
- Greasebucket - The Fender-designed Greasebucket tone circuit cleverly reduces high frequencies without increasing lows for a rolled-off tone that doesn’t sound overly thick or muddy!
‘51 Loaded Pickups
Starting from the foundations laid by Fender's original 1951 pickup design, the ’51 Loaded Nocaster (Telecaster) pickups offer the ultimate Tele tone turned up to 11! Using a combination of Alnico 3 magnets in the bridge pickup and Alnico 5 in the neck as well as extra winds of 43 gauge enamel wire on each, these pickups offer an overall increased output that really helps to push your amps or drives to the next level. Everything that is loved about the tone of the pickups found in early Fender blackguards is carefully kept intact… the tight low end, the shimmering mids, the quintessential focus and twang as well as the overall note clarity and balance.
Original Woods
Fender's original wood combination of an Ash body partnered up with a Maple neck. The Ash provides a sweet and resonant well-balanced guitar tone which is brilliantly complimented by the brightness and responsiveness of the maple neck.
