The Story

1951 Nocaster Roasted Ash Heavy Relic Electric Guitar Butterscotch Blonde

Looking for a chunky neck Tele? Look no further than this Nocaster from the Fender Custom Shop...a '51 with Twisted Tele pickups and roasted ash for the body along with a roasted quartersawn maple neck. The roasting process stabilizes the wood, as well as gives it some of the tonal characteristics that we love vintage guitars for. Add in the 9.5" radius with medium jumbo frets for a modern playability, and you've got a Nocaster that exists in the best of both worlds!

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