Fender / Nocaster (Telecaster) Custom Shop 1951 – Blonde Journeyman Relic – Pre Owned / 2017 / Blonde / Guitar
This Nocaster Relic from 2017 is another example of how the Fender Custom shop are just getting things so right. The first thing you notice is how amazingly light it is, it almost feels hollow! The two piece ash body was selected for light weight, as specified in the shop floor traveler. This example has been Relic’d in an extremely authentic way, it oozes mojo and sounds as good as it looks. The neck is an extremely comfortable U shape that isn’t too thick at all. The excellent relic job has resulted in the removal of the gloss lacquer from the back of the neck which feels smooth and silky. This fine instrument was purchased from it’s original owner and remains in near perfect condition. All the case candy is included and the case is like new. The new prices of this model have shot up in the last couple of years. They now retail between £2600 and £3200 depending on the dealer and how old the stock is.
