This is an exceptional sounding Fender Custom Shop '52 Telecaster Relic finished in iconic Butterscotch Blonde. Built in the Custom Shop and dated April 28, 2021 (Serial Number: R111848), this instrument perfectly captures the raw aesthetic, feel, and resonant sound of an early-1950s Telecaster.
It features a 2-piece select ash body with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and light Journeyman/Relic aging. The neck is a maple plain grain blank cut to a thick, chunky '52 Style "U" profile, paired with a 7.25" fretboard radius and Vintage Upgrade / 45085 frets for that vintage playability.
Loaded with hand-wired Custom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups and wired with modern '51 Nocaster control specs, it delivers timeless vintage twang, clarity, and punch.
