Overview

One of the most desirable production Fender guitars recreated to the finest detail.

The Fender Custom Nocaster Heavy Relic Electric Guitar is a faithful recreation with Fender's classic Telecaster features including an alder body finished in antique blonde, U-shaped maple neck, single-ply black pickguard and original spec pickups. The Fender Nocaster guitar is painstakingly recreated right down to the finest detail, including the paint "halo" beneath the pickguard. Appointments include a single-ply black pickguard, aged nickel/chrome hardware, and an "ash tray" bridge cover. The Fender Nocaster electric guitar includes vintage hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

The Fender Custom Shop "Heavy Relic" treatment creates guitars that are super worn-in, like your favorite pair of jeans! They show the natural wear and tear from years of heavy use ” nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware, and aged plastic parts.

Fender's Time Machine electric guitars pay homage to specific years of some of their classic designs. All are built to exacting specifications of their respective vintages, including body contours and radii, neck shape, fingerboard radius, pickups and electronics. Original materials, tooling and production techniques are employed wherever possible to maintain the integrity of these Fender guitars.
