Fender Custom Shop 1951 HS Heavy Relic Telecaster Electric Guitar (with Case)

Combining authentic Fender feel with a favorite player's modification, the Limited Edition '51 HS Telecaster Heavy Relic adds fat, high output sound to the traditional twang of a Tele. The hand-wound '50-'51 "Crushed" Blackguard single-coil bridge pickup is joined by a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover SH-55 humbucking neck pickup for a one-two punch of tone. We customized a dual-stack HS Tele wiring to create the perfect sonic balance between the two, incorporating 250k/500k potentiometers on the volume and tone controls to ensure compatibility. The two-piece off-center select ash body wears a Relic flashcoat lacquer finish, giving it the look and feel of a well-loved instrument that's seen many a stage and tour bus. Sporting a dark tinted Relic flashcoat lacquer finish, the AA flame quartersawn maple neck sports a '57 "U"-shaped profile for the substantial fret-hand feel typical of instruments from our original decade. For ultimate comfort and playability, a 9.5" radius fingerboard and 21 6105 narrow-jumbo frets make it ideal for all playing styles. The vintage-style Nocaster bridge features compensated brass saddles for authentic Fender tone and superior intonation.
Other features include a 3-way pickup switch, single-ply Black phenolic pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and round string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap, engraved "Limited Edition" neck plate and Certificate of Authenticity.
