Featuring Fender's heavy relic treatment, this 1952 Telecaster Reissue electric guitar has the look of many years of hard use on the road with nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware, and aged plastic parts. The premium ash body wood with a worn nitro finish has great tone and is lightweight for playing comfort. The 1-piece, maple neck has the distinctive 10/'56 "Boat Neck" soft V-shape and has worn finish on the back for a great, smooth "played-in" feel. A traditional maple fingerboard sports black dot inlays, 21 fast medium-jumbo frets and heavy wear. The original spec '51 Nocaster single-coil in the bridge creates all the snap, snarl, and yes, twang you could ever want from a Tele.
