Experience the legendary tone and vibe of the 1951 Nocaster with this meticulously crafted reissue from the Fender Custom Shop. This Time Machine model features a lightweight 2-piece select ash body finished with Offset Seam in Aged Nocaster Blonde for that coveted vintage look. The rift sawn maple neck has a comfortable 1951 "U" profile that feels just right in your hands.
For classic Tele twang, it's loaded with Custom Shop Hand-Wound '51 Nocaster pickups. The 3-position blade switch gives you bridge pickup alone, neck pickup alone, and neck pickup with a preset deep rhythm tone. Additional controls include a master volume, bridge/neck blend (in position 1), and knurled chrome knobs.
From the nitrocellulose lacquer finish to the 3-saddle bridge with brass saddles, this Tele is spec'd out just like the originals. It comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case so you can take your vintage-accurate tone machine anywhere. Feel history come alive when you plug in the '51 Nocaster NOS from the Fender Custom Shop.
