The Story

1951 Nocaster Heavy Relic Electric Guitar Faded Nocaster Blonde

This is a Nocaster that's been beat to hell and back by the Fender Custom Shop, with a heavy relic Faded Nocaster Blonde finish to the ash body. The Nocaster also has a strong and resilient quartersawn maple neck with a modern 9.5" radius to the fretboard, and loaded with two Twisted Tele pickups for that classic Tele spank. Add in the chunky "U" shaped maple neck and you've got one workhorse of a guitar.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Strap, Cable, Polish Cloth, Paperwork
