Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Relic
This ’51 Nocaster sounds killer!
Lightweight and Resonant! 6.8lbs!
Vintage Telecaster vibe with 1-off upgrades
This Fender Custom Shop Nocaster is an incredible electric guitar! It’s a feather weight-wise and it rings like a bell! Super woody with plenty of twang and spank, but natural and organic sounding without some of the harsh qualities that can often be found on vintage Teles. Original vintage ’51 Nocaster specifications with the exception of slightly larger frets and a flatter radius for improved playability, along with a set of Twisted Tele pickups for a more versatile sonic palette. The Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup is one of my favorites! The main difference between it and the stock Nocaster neck pickup is the type of metal the cover is made of- The Twisted Tele pickup allows more highs which give it a more lively, Strat-like tone. Not as dark and muddy as a typical vintage Telecaster neck pickup.
