The Story

'51 Nocaster NOS Faded Nocaster Blonde

This lightly used Fender Custom Shop guitar is a '51 Nocaster reissue with a NOS Faded Nocaster Blonde finish over an ash body, paired with a quartersawn AA-flame maple neck and comfortable "V" profile carved in. Add in the handwound '51 Nocaster pickups and you've got all the Twang you need in the world! The guitar has a small ding on the top, a dent to the back of the body, and lacquer checking around the body from changes in the weather, nothing to affect playability!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags, Case Candy
