Up for sale is an absolute powerhouse of tone and vintage aesthetic: a 2024 Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Heavy Relic in iconic Aged Nocaster Blonde. Nice weight of 3,1kg.
The combination of a resonant 2-piece ash body and hand-wound '51 Nocaster pickups delivers the signature early-50s Telecaster bite, twang, and woody midrange warmth. The chunky '51 Nocaster "U" neck profile paired with the flatter 9.5" radius and Narrow Tall frets offers effortless string bending without sacrificing the classic thick-neck sustain.
This Custom Shop instrument perfectly blends golden-era 1951 specs with modern playability enhancements like Narrow Tall frets and a comfortable 9.5” fingerboard radius.
