We are very excited to be offering this Fender Custom Shop 52' Nocaster Blonde Telecaster in a stunning Aged Journeyman Finish. It features a really comfortable 57' style soft 'V' neck profile with a worn in feeling reliced maple neck and fretboard. The Handwound 50-51 Blackguard tele pickups are in both the neck and bridge position, and they really complements the Ash body. The fredboard radius is compound with a 7.25 inch at the nut, which goes up to 9.50 at the bridge, giving you the best of both worlds which combines a vintage radius with a more modern 9.50 radius.

FENDER VINTAGE-STYLE MACHINE HEADS

The Fender Vintage-Style Machine Heads are a perfect fit for this Telecaster. Offering vintage styling and excellent tuning stability, these are a great set of Machine Heads. They have also been aged by the custom shop to give them a worn in aesthetic.

FENDER CUSTOM SHOP HAND WOUND 50/51 BLACKGUARD PICKUPS

The Fender Custom Shop 50/51 Telecaster pickups are designed to replicate the sound and feel of the original Telecaster pickups from the 1950s. These pickups are handcrafted using period-correct materials and techniques to deliver a vintage tone with a modern edge.

The 50/51 Telecaster pickups are known for their clarity, warmth, and balanced output, making them ideal for a wide range of musical styles, from country and rock to blues and jazz. They feature Alnico 3 magnets, enamel-coated magnet wire, and cloth-covered output wires, all of which contribute to their distinctive sound.

JOURNEYMAN AGED NITROCELLUOSE FINISH

The Journeyman finish is designed to replicate the look and feel of a well-worn and played-in guitar, with subtle wear and tear that gives the instrument character and personality. The Journeyman Finish is created using a combination of techniques, such as relicing, aging, and distressing, to produce a vintage-looking guitar that feels comfortable and familiar right out of the box. The journeyman ageing looks fantastic on this classic Nocaster Blonde finish, with visibile laquer checking that can be seen in different lighting.

LIGHT WEIGHT ASH BODY

Ash is a dense and relatively lightweight wood, known for its bright and resonant tone, with a clear high-end and tight lows.

VINTAGE STYLE TELECASTER BRIDGE WITH BRASS SADDLES

The vintage-style bridge is essentially unchanged from the original Tele bridge, still retining its classic aesthetic that feels and sound just like a vintage instrument.
