Introducing: Your Dream Instrument from Fender
Every info for your decision
In November 1950, a second pickup was added to the neck of the first Fender model, the Esquire. The new model was given the name Broadcaster and became the first Fender model to be produced in large numbers and achieve historical significance. However, the name Broadcaster was short-lived and had to be changed following a complaint from the Gretsch company, which was already using the name for various drum products at the time.
From about February to August 1951, Fender continued to use the name and logo stickers for the headstocks, but cut off the Broadcaster name. These no-name guitars, which were nicknamed Nocaster, are very rare due to the short production run and are traded among collectors today at astronomical prices. The Fender Custom Shop has set itself the task of studying these high-quality vintage guitars and reproducing them down to the smallest detail. Here we have a very special Custom Shop Nocaster one-off for you:
The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Heavy Relic MN NBL Masterbuild Greg Fessler is a classic T-style electric guitar with a two-piece ash body. Ash wood was already used in the original Nocaster guitars and provides the basis for the perfect vintage sound. The body wood was selected by hand to ensure a particularly light weight and thus improve playing comfort. The aged maple neck with maple fingerboard is in a ‘57 soft “V” profile and features a 12’ fingerboard radius, adding a touch of modern comfort and feel to the vintage feel. The guitar is equipped with an S-H pickup combination of a classic Fender Custom Shop ‘51 Nocaster single coil in the bridge position and a Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker in the neck position. Other features include Fender vintage style tuners, dome speed knobs in chrome finish and a single-ply black Nocaster pickguard.
The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Heavy Relic MN NBL Masterbuild Greg Fessler is finished in a classic Nocaster Blonde. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish ensures that the wood can vibrate particularly well and that the finish ages more beautifully. The most extreme of Fender's Relic levels, Heavy Relic evokes the spirit of the most tried and worn Fender instruments in history. If you want a guitar that looks like it hasn't left your side since the dawn of rock ‘n’ roll, this is the right finish for you.
This exquisite one-of-a-kind guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity in a luxurious original Fender Custom Shop case with brown tolex and burgundy lining, allowing you to transport your new dream guitar safely and protect it from external influences.
