For a timeless look into the history of Fender's iconic singlecut, this Custom Shop features musical elements both reverent and tradition-breaking. This retro-style Telecaster builds up with the Custom Shop's attention to detail at every level for a totally impressive impression. Ready or not!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHearkening to Fender's foundational years in the early '50s, this Fender Custom Shop '51 Telecaster lines up with plenty of cool, highly musical elements that play familiarly to original Fender models with plenty of fine creative liberties taken. Everything here starts with a two-piece, treble-seam-off-center ash body, sorted for weight. \"Sorted for weight,\" this Telecaster's body, during construction, was selected among a lot by a Fender Custom Shop builder for its light weight among said lot. This lighter ash pick contributes to the entire instrument landing just above seven pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with its comfortable weight and classic Fender ash resonance, this two-piece body additionally acts as an excellent canvas to wrap a Fender Custom Shop Journeyman Relic lacquer finish treatment around. Journeyman Relic, a popular level of Relic finish wear, emulates a finish with plenty of years of play and time under stagelights. Fender's Nocaster Blonde color aligns with this gently aged Relic treatment for an iconic aesthetic at every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom here, this Fender Custom Shop brings on a quartersawn AA flame maple neck in a 1951 \"U\" profile. This fuller, \"U\" profile measures with custom dimensions that go from .845\" thick at the first fret to .900\" at the twelfth. What's more, this custom-dimension neck translates with a unique feel in hand from its unfinished Relic back for direct wood grain in hand. The neck then fills out to a fingerboard bearing twenty-one frets with the Custom Shop's 6105, or Narrow Tall, fret wire. This board exhibits a break from Fender '50s tradition with a compound radius measurement that starts at a vintage-accurate 7.25\" near the nut and flattens drastically to a modern 12\" toward the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, two hand-wound Nocaster '51 single-coil pickups land with this Tele. A retro-style, bright, and warm Telecaster tone permeates throughout this guitar shaped by '51 Nocaster Modified wiring for a vintage-accurate tone-shaping experience. Topping everything off here, this Fender Custom Shop features a number of hardware specifications. A bone nut and Vintage-Style tuning machines land at the headstock for smooth stringing while a Telecaster 51-54 bridge appears with barrel saddles. This Telecaster travels with a Strat\/Tele Tweed hardshell case included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlonde finish, black pickguard, maple fingerboard, single-coil pickups.
