The Ash body is finished in a vibrant White Blonde 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 Plain Grain Maple neck has a smooth, vintage feel. With a 9.50" radius and narrow tall frets, the '51 Nocaster features a 65 Strat "C" neck profile, measuring .820" at the 1st fret and .974" 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 51 Nocaster pickups you certainly get that famous Tele' tone.
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!
