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

A used 1952 Telecaster Relic (manufactured in 2021) has just arrived!
It features a two-piece ash body and a quarter-sawn maple neck. The neck has a moderately rounded “52 Style ‘U’” profile, a 9.5” radius, and narrow-tall 6105 frets—combining vintage charm with modern specifications to create a guitar that’s comfortable to play even today.

The finish color is “Daphne Blue.” The entire guitar has been reliced, with areas where the paint has been stripped down to the base coat and wood, along with fine scratches and dents, giving it a distinguished look that suggests it has been played extensively over many years.

The pickups consist of a “51 Nocaster” in the front and a “Broadcaster” in the rear. This configuration combines the clear, transparent vintage tone of the “51 Nocaster” with the “Broadcaster,” which delivers a very thick and powerful midrange.

The controls follow the “Modern Tele w/GR.BKT PH” configuration.
It features a 3-way switch (front/mix/rear) that’s easy to use even by today’s standards, and incorporates a special “Grease Basket” circuit that cleanly cuts the high frequencies without boosting the low end.

As this is a relic model, the details of the scratches are unclear, but there is no noticeable major damage.
The neck is in good condition, and the frets have ample height remaining.

Additionally, two screw holes—presumably drilled for adjusting pickup height—have been added to the pickguard. * Although not original, a single-ply white pickguard without relic treatment is included. This pickguard does not have the additional screw holes.
The hard case shows signs of use and has some dirt on both the exterior and interior.

This is a wonderful instrument featuring a stunning combination of Daphne Blue and authentic relic effects. It’s in excellent “player’s condition” and ready for many more years of use!

* Please note that due to the nature of this product, we are unable to transfer it between stores.
