1998 Fender Custom Shop 1950s Nocaster Cunetto Relic. Butterscotch Blonde finish in excellent condition. It comes with the original vintage tweed case, the certificate of authenticity, and untouched case candy. Serial: R6767.
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 a 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 5oz / 3.32 kg. Nut width: 42.5 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 22 mm. Depth at 12th fret: 24.5 mm.
