1952 Telecaster, Heavy Relic
The 1952 Telecaster starts with a lightweight, two-piece ash body finished in a classic Aged Nocaster Blonde that has been given the heaviest of the relic treatments, designed to evoke decades of the most punishing play and touring. From serious dinged and wear to intensely discolored hardware and finish, the true battle-hardened workhorse.
The rift sawn maple neck features Fender's distinct 57 Style Soft "V" neck shape. It is topped with a 7.25" to 9.5" compound radius and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets. Hand wound ’50-’51 Blackguard Tele pickups provide all the punchy low end tone and crisp twang you could want.
Other premium features include 51 modified nocaster wiring with an extra Fat 50s assembly in the case, 51 Nocaster pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.

FENDER CUSTOM SHOP
A Fender Custom Shop instrument is extraordinary. You know it when you play one—it’s definitely more than the sum of its parts. It’s filled with intangible, electrifying elements that add a new dimension to your playing experience. It’s as if the instrument itself is imbued with history, alive with the spirit of the place where it was built and the devotion of those who crafted it.
The Custom Shop is home to Fender’s most skilled and talented builders. It’s a bustling, noisy and creatively volcanic place that re-earns its nickname—the Dream Factory—every day. Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their art—part craftsman, part artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist. They’re the best at what they do, and they pour all of their passion, hard-earned knowledge and skill into every instrument they build. It’s no ordinary place, and the creations that come from it are no ordinary instruments. This is Fender Custom Shop.
