2018 Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster, Heavy Relic, Blonde. It has a beatiful ash body and AA quarter sawn neck with Sanko 6105 frets and a 9.5" radius with a fat V profile. Heavy wound '51 Nocaster pickups. The original owner of this guitar bought it in late 2018 and played it only a few times at home. It is in as new condition with no play wear to the frets. It comes with the certificate of authenticity, the original G&G vintage tweed case and untouched case candy. Serial R96467.
An elusive legend among Fender aficionados, the Nocaster has an interesting history. Originally called the “Broadcaster” during its initial production run in ’50, it was renamed after a request from The Gretsch Company, which offered a drum set named “Broadkaster”. As a cost-saving measure Fender simply cut the name off the headstock label with scissors, leaving just the famous Fender logo until late ‘51 when they received their new name, Telecaster. The lack of model name led to these guitars being christened “Nocasters” by collectors—very few were produced and their sound and feel are legendary among players who know.
This guitar has been set up in our workshop with a fresh set of strings and a low action. Weight 7lbs 2.5oz. Nut width: 42 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 24 mm. Depth at 12th fret:25.65 mm. 3-month warranty included.
