USED Fender Custom Shop / 1952 Telecaster Relic Daphne Blue [03]

We’ve just received a used 2021 Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Relic in Daphne Blue!

Features a 2-piece ash body and a 5/4 quarter-sawn maple neck.
The neck shape is the "52 Style 'U'," which replicates the 1954 neck profile.
The fingerboard radius is 9.5", and it is equipped with 21 of the Custom Shop's standard "Narrow Tall/6105" frets.
It retains a vintage feel while incorporating modern specifications, making it easy to play even today.

The finish color is "Daphne Blue." The entire body features a "Relic" finish, with areas where the paint has peeled back to reveal the base coat and wood, as well as fine scratches and dents, giving it a cool, well-worn look as if it had been played for years.

The pickups are original "51 Nocaster" on the front and "OBG Pickup" on the rear.
Both pickups are designed to reproduce the sound of early 1950s Telecasters, combining the clear sound of the "51 Nocaster" with the rich, powerful tone of the "OBG Pickup."

The controls feature the "Modern Tele w/GR.BKT PH" configuration.
It features a 3-way switch (front/mix/rear) that is easy to use even today, and incorporates a special "Grease Basket Circuit" that cleanly cuts the high frequencies without boosting the low end.

As for the condition, it is difficult to assess due to the relic finish, but there are almost no scratches on the body that appear to have been added later and differ from the original, making this a guitar that has retained its original condition. There is a slight tear in the cover of the included certificate of authenticity.

The combination of the Daphne Blue color and relic finish makes this a truly Custom Shop-worthy instrument!
