Overview

A one-of-kind Fender re-creation of a classic.

The 1951 Nocaster features a lightweight ash body with faded black nitrocellulose lacquer finish given a Light Relic treatment - the finish shows natural wear from years of light use, with a few nicks, worn finish, oxidized hardware, and aged plastic parts. The body is fitted with a quartersawn 1-piece maple neck with a luxurious vintage tint, a 1951 Nocaster U-shape, 6105 fretwire, and a 9.5" radius. The pickups include a hot-rodded Twisted Tele single-coil neck position pickup and a Hot Nocaster single-coil in the bridge position. The 1951 Nocaster Light Relic comes with a vintage tweed hardshell case and Custom Shop certificate.
