Fender Custom Shop 51 Nocaster Relic Black

The Nocaster is one of the most memorable models in Fender's history, and this guitar looks like it's already well played in thanks to the Fender Custom Shop Relic!

Crafted by the skilled hands of craftsmen in the Fender Custom Shop, each 51 Nocaster is a work of art in its own right. With a subtle relic, this guitar feels like it’s been on stage for decades.

The Fender Nocaster is a special legend and has an interesting history, but it hasn’t always been called by the same name. During its first production run, it was called the Broadcaster, but this was quickly changed because Gretsch owned the rights. After that, the model was famously called the ‘Telecaster’, after which the models without a type designation were renamed Nocaster by enthusiasts.

This Custom Shop Nocaster is bursting at the seams with early ’50s style and comfort, and features two Fender Custom Shop ’51 Nocaster pickups surrounded by a single-ply black pickguard. The 'Nocaster U' neck is comfortable to hold due to the 9.5 inch radius of the fingerboard, which is different from the 1950s, and gives you a playing experience that comes very close to the originals. This is also the reason that you can still find a Telecaster on every conceivable stage today!

The guitar comes with a TFOA passport in a hardshell case.
