The Fender Custom Shop do some pretty special things, and with the Custom Shop '51 Nocaster they really push the boundaries of Leo Fenders vision.
The sort for lightweight Ash body is finished in a vibrant Crimson Transparent NOS nitro lacquer, period correct, this finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. It also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively compared with other finishes. The NOS finish gives the appearance of a New Old Stock guitar, one that has been perfectly preserved since 1951 and doesn't feature any kind of ageing or relic work.
The medium tint 5/4 quartersawn Maple neck has a smooth, vintage feel. With a 9.50" radius and narrow tall frets, the '51 Nocaster features a Nocaster "U" neck profile that measures .950" at the 1st fret and 1.000" at the 12th; it feels comfortable and robust, just like a vintage Fender should.
With the Telecaster design considered by many to be the original workhorse guitar, the Custom Shop '51 Nocaster needs a pickup pairing that can deliver the classic Tele' twang. Loaded with a pair of hand wound 50-51 Blackguard pickups you certainly get that famous Tele' tone. With the inclusion of the Greasebucket tone circuit, you can make use of the tone control to roll off the highs without the worry of the bass frequencies sounding too overwhelming.
The original '51 Nocaster's are the stuff of legend, a real collector's piece. The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster, well that's a player's guitar!
