DESCRIPTION
Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Maple Neck Heavy Relic Aged Black with Black Pickguard
THE ELECTRIFYING ORIGINAL, UPDATED
The Fender Custom Shop 1952 Heavy Relic® Telecaster® is an authentic evocation of Fender’s first workhorse guitar, along with some upgraded features for modern playability. Its ash body comes in Two-Color Sunburst, Black or Nocaster Blonde Heavy Relic lacquer finishes. Time-honored Telecaster snap comes from dual Nocaster pickups with three-way switching and Fender’s Greasebucket™ tone circuit, which rolls off highs without reducing gain.
Other premium features include a maple neck with a Nocaster “U” profile, 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 narrow jumbo frets, single-ply parchment pickguard (black pickguard on Nocaster Blonde model), ‘52 Telecaster bridge with brass saddles, and American Vintage tuning machines. Includes hard-shell tweed case with center pocket.
