View Full DescriptionAuthentic vintage aesthetics
The Fender Custom Shop '52 Telecaster Journeyman Relic boasts a Nocaster Blonde finish applied with nitrocellulose lacquer, a method used in the original guitars from the early '50s. This finish not only gives the guitar a stunningly authentic look but also enhances its resonance and tonal qualities, making it highly sought after by those who value both appearance and sound. The relicing process adds a convincingly aged feel, presenting an instrument that looks like it has decades of stories to tell.
Exceptional playability
One of the standout features of this Telecaster is its single-piece maple neck, meticulously crafted to ensure comfort and durability. The neck is shaped to a 65 Strat "C" profile, which is renowned for its comfortable grip and ease of play across all frets. A 9.50-inch radius and 21 narrow tall frets further facilitate a smooth playing experience, making it ideal for both chord playing and soloing. Whether you are practicing at home or performing on stage, this guitar promises effortless playability.
Rich, vintage sound
The '52 Telecaster is equipped with a specially designed 51 Nocaster neck pickup, revered for its ability to produce the classic Telecaster twang along with warm, rounded tones when played clean, and a sharp, biting sound when amplified with distortion. This pickup configuration is perfect for a wide range of music styles, from blues and country to rock and jazz, making this guitar a versatile choice for musicians of various genres.
Durable and protective accessories
Included with the Telecaster is a period-accurate FCS Strat/Tele Tweed case, which not only complements the guitar's vintage aesthetic but also offers robust protection. The case is built to withstand the rigours of travel and frequent use, ensuring that the guitar remains safe and sound under all conditions. This thoughtful inclusion underscores Fender's commitment to quality and the preservation of your musical investment.
