Product Description
The Fender Custom Shop creates some exceptional instruments, and with the Custom Shop '51 Nocaster, they take us back to the early days of Leo Fender's vision.
The lightweight Ash body is coated in a classic Nocaster Blonde nitro lacquer, making it visually stunning! This authentically aged finish will age gracefully over time, gaining its own unique character. Additionally, the thin nitro finish enhances the body’s natural resonance, allowing it to project sound more effectively.
The Rift Sawn Maple neck offers a smooth, genuine vintage feel. Featuring a 9.50" – 12” compound radius, a 57 style "V" neck profile, 21 6105 frets, a 1.625 Nut Width, and a 25.5" scale length, it provides an incredibly pleasurable playing experience.
Often regarded as the original workhorse guitar, the Telecaster design requires a pickup combination that can deliver that classic Tele twang. Equipped with a set of hand-wound 50-51 Blackguard pickups, this guitar captures every imaginable tone. They are dynamic and excel both in clean and distorted settings.
The original 50’s Double Esquire are legendary and highly sought after by collectors. This Custom Shop '51, however, is truly a player’s guitar!
This example plays and feels amazing, being dated early 2024 this is very much a nearly new guitar, an absolute gem to get hold of and to save yourself some cash! It comes with its original tweed Fender case including all the candy as well as an extra wiring loom included by fender to retrofit the Fat 50’s control assembly.
