Description
In 1951, the Fender Telecaster was born, its sleek shape and loveable twang taking the world by storm. This Custom Shop 1951 Telecaster Relic is a masterful recreation of those first-year Teles, making it perfect for players who want a premium vintage-inspired guitar.
Featuring a 2-piece select ash body, this Fender has a sweet, resonant sound with rich lows and a well-defined midrange. Its translucent blonde nitro finish allows the wood grain to shine through beautifully, and its relic treatment gives it the look and feel of a well-loved, authentically worn guitar. Players who prefer a slightly chunkier neck will love this Tele's 10/56 "V" shaped rift-sawn maple neck and 9.5-inch radius fingerboard, which play impeccably well for a wide range of styles. And, thanks to its Custom Shop '50/'51 Blackguard pickups, this axe perfectly nails that iconic Telecaster twang and bite.
Complete with a hardshell case, a C.O.A., and various case candy, this '51 Telecaster Relic is excellent for Fender fans seeking a top-notch Custom Shop guitar with some serious character.
