The Fender Custom Shop 51 Nocaster Relic in Faded Nocaster Blonde follows a time tested formula for the utmost in tone. A lightweight Ash Body, teamed with a Quartersawn Maple Neck, and a set of Brass Saddles combine for the classic 50's Tele tones many of us have been searching for. Read on if you are looking for the be-all, end-all Tele for your collection!
A Fat Nocaster U Shaped Neck adorns this beast. It's big in every position starting at .950" at the first fret with a subtle taper up to a full 1 inch at the 12th fret. A 9.5" fingerboard radius and 6105 frets provide a fast and easy playing surface. The one piece Maple Neck Construction makes this thing lively, resonant and a total inspiration.
A Handwound 51 Nocaster Bridge Pickup sounds amazing. Bell-like highs team with round and hollow lows. Bark and bite lurk just beneath the surface and this pickup is your overdrive's new best friend. A Handwound Texas Special Single Coil is installed int he neck position which adds some much appreciate heat to an otherwise typically cloudy sounding pickup. A great pickup for searing leads, once you go Texas Special, it's almost impossible to go back!
