{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-limited-edition-51-telecaster-nos-1194977","title":"Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '51 Telecaster NOS Faded Nocaster Blonde","description":"Seventy years ago, in fall 1951, the Fender Telecaster was born. Inspired by new technology sweeping the nation, television “telecasts” were the wave of the future and, as history has proven most powerfully, Leo Fender’s new Telecaster was also part of that wave. It was and remains to this day one of the most played, most iconic and most revered instruments in popular music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 2021, the Custom Shop presents an homage to the original Telecaster model that had such a dramatic effect on music and the electric guitar world. The Limited Edition 1951 Telecaster is available in six distinct aging packages—NOS, Deluxe Closet Classic, Journeyman Relic, Relic, Heavy Relic and Super Heavy Relic—and features a two-piece select ash body, a one-piece AA flame quartersawn maple neck with a 10\/’56 “V” profile, and a 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall frets for perfect feel and playability. The hand-wound ’50-’51 Blackguard pickups are connected to ’51 modified “Nocaster®” wiring (similar to the original, with blender pot and brighter rhythm setting in the neck position). Other features include a black phenolic pickguard, ’51-’54 Tele bridge with brass saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and disk string tree. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #: \u003c\/b\u003eR109034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e7lbs 11.2oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece Select Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eNitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Material: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece Select Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e Telecaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e7.25\" to 9.5\" Vintage Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width: \u003c\/b\u003e2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/b\u003e AA Flame Quartersawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Shape: \u003c\/b\u003e10\/56 \"V\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e .910\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness 12th Fret: \u003c\/b\u003e1.000\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition Inlays:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black Dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dots: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Micarta, 3\/32\" (2.38 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Nut: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage-Style Heel Adjust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Nut: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage-Style Slotted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003e3-Saddle Vintage-Style Strings-Through-Body Tele® with Brass Barrel Saddles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Knurled Flat-Top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate: \u003c\/b\u003e4-Bolt \"Limited Edition\" Engraved\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-Ply Black Phenolic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/b\u003e Neck: Nickel; Bridge: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Trees: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage-Style Disc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings:\u003c\/b\u003e Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Barrel Style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage-Style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Shop Hand-Wound '50\/'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls: \u003c\/b\u003eMaster Volume, Neck Pickup Blend (Switch Position 1 Only)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Shop Hand-Wound '50\/'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Configuration: \u003c\/b\u003eSS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitching:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
