'51 NOCASTER RELIC DESCRIPTION |
|
The Art Of Aging! Fender's Time Machine Series pays homage to specific years of classic designs. These collectibles are built to exacting specs of their respective vintages including body contours, neck shape, fingerboard radius, pickups and electronics. Original materials, tooling and production techniques are employed whenever possible to maintain the integrity of these instruments. Available in three distinct custom finish packages (New Old Stock, Closet Classic and Relic) making these instruments collector's items right out of the box! The genesis of the Telecaster began in 1950 with Fender's introduction of the single pickup "Esquire" electric Spanish guitar. By early 1951, a second pickup was added and to avoid confusion, Fender named the new "improved" model "Broadcaster", leaving the single pickup model to be known as the Esquire. Unfortunately, the Fred Gretsch Company already had a registered trademark on the name "Broadkaster" and Fender had to stop using the name after only a few months. Unwilling to stop shipping guitars while trying to come up with a new name, Broadcaster decals were cut leaving only the Fender logo. Guitars from this period were later deemed "No-Casters" by collectors. This faithful recreation features an ash body, "U" shape maple neck, single-ply black pickguard and original spec pickups. Relic - Like an old friend that's been with you through it all. A note about the finish: Completely worn in, like your favorite pair of jeans! Shows natural wear and tear of years of heavy use - nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts. The Relic looks, feels and PLAYS like it's taken the punishment of many long nightclub hours. • Fingerboard: Maple • Finish: Honey Blonde • Includes: Tweed Case and Standard Fender Case, Strap and Cable  Tell a Friend About the '51 Nocaster Relic!
