Description
Experience the unmistakable magic of Fender's early solidbody design with this Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster NOS-an instrument that captures the essence of the original blackguard Tele. Built with period-correct appointments, including a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a lightweight, two-piece ash body, this guitar transports you straight to the dawn of the electric revolution. From its sorted-for-weight construction to its gently aged chrome hardware, every detail is hand-picked and meticulously crafted, giving you that sought-after "straight-from-the-factory" 1951 vibe.
At its heart is a custom maple neck boasting a '52-style "U" shape with a comfortable 9.5-inch radius, delivering a modern playing feel while retaining vintage character. A genuine bone nut and narrow tall frets further enhance the experience, ensuring smooth bends and reliable intonation. Finished off with the iconic black pickguard, a 51/52 Tele bridge assembly, and a '51 Nocaster single-coil in the neck, this faithful tribute is ready to dole out all the twang, snap, and sparkle that made early Fenders legendary. Whether you're a vintage purist or seeking a timeless sound for your stage arsenal, the 1951 Nocaster NOS stands as a testament to Fender's enduring legacy.
