Introducing: Your Dream Instrument from Fender
Every info for your decision
After Fender had to remove the name Broadcaster from its electric guitars in 1951 following a complaint, a new name was sought for the successor to the Esquire. The idea for the new name Telecaster came from Don Randall, the creative mind behind almost all Fender model names. Considering the burgeoning television age, the name seemed fitting, as Leo Fender's former shop was the first in the area to offer televisions.
The name Telecaster was printed on the headstock of the T-style guitar from 1951, and so Fender's first solid-body electric guitar was finally given a permanent name for which it is still known today. Fender's production methods made it possible to manufacture the instruments simply and with consistent quality, but also with a different sound. The clear, long decaying sounds of the Telecaster clearly set it apart from the fat Gibson style jazz sound. 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 one-off for you, modelled on a Tele from the early 50s:
The Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Sort Heavy Relic SHG is a classic T-style electric guitar with an ash body. Ash wood was already used in the original Telecaster 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 an early 50‘s style Nocaster “U” profile with a 9.5’ fingerboard radius that adds a touch of modern comfort and feel to the vintage feel. The guitar is equipped with a classic S-S pickup combination of a Fender Custom Shop ‘51 Nocaster single coil in the bridge position and a Handwound “Twisted” Tele single coil in the neck position. Other features include Fender vintage style tuners, dome speed knobs in chrome finish and a single-ply, black 5-hole pickguard.
The Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Sort Heavy Relic SHG is finished in an eye-catching shimmering Shoreline Gold. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish ensures that the wood can vibrate particularly well and that the lacquer 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 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 tweed cover and red velvet lining, allowing you to safely transport your new dream guitar and protect it from external influences.
