The Story

1951 Nocaster Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar Black

A Nocaster that would make Johnny Cash proud with its Journeyman Relic Black finish over a roasted ash body, and matching 1-ply black pickguard to blend right in. The Nocaster also has a strong and resilient quartersawn roasted 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
