Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster #R137320 - heavy relic natural blonde

Developed from the platform of a basic "1951 Nocaster" model, the FENDER Custom Shop Time Machine 1951 Nocaster Heavy Relic Aged Nocaster Blonde #R137320 (9231013121) is the reinterpretation of the original Telecaster. Solid-body electric guitar, two-piece "sort for lightweight" Ash body, bolt-on neck and rift-sawn Maple fingerboard (1950 Blackguard profile, medium-vintage frets, hybrid radius 7.25/9.5"), Custom Shop hand-wound '50/51 Blackguard Telecaster pickups. The Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar Precision Bass or Jazz Bass are legendary electrics that are an integral part of the history of amplified music, having amply contributed to its expansion and democratization.
The ideal would be to be the proud owner of an original from the 50s or 60s, but the price of vintage instruments is so high that it's difficult for anyone to get access to them. Concerning the Relic finish: the dealers present at NAMM 1995 were totally blown away by the level of realism of the first two Relic models that Fender presented to them that year. Despite being vintage connoisseurs, they mistook them for genuine Fender originals (a '51 Nocaster and a '56 Mary Kaye Stratocaster).
The early-aging process is now fully mastered, and accounts for the bulk of Custom Shop sales...
