USED Fender Custom Shop / 1952 Telecaster NOS Nocaster Blonde 2024 [10]

New 52 Tele with thin Modern C shape neck made in 2024!

This is a special one that uses a thin "Modern C" neck shape for the Custom Shop grade 52TL, which usually uses a thicker neck.

The body is made of 2pcs center ash. The body is made of 2pcs center ash, which is not too light and has a perfect balance and the best weight to make the most of its tone. The neck is made of tight, vertical-grained custom store grade maple. The neck shape is "Modern C," which is the most distinctive feature. This is great news for those who have given up on the thick "U-shape" necks that were usually found on past distributor models of the 51Nocaster, which were like logs from low to high positions. Compared to the "60 Style Oval C" often used on so-called 60s-style rosewood fingerboard models, the neck is slightly thicker in the low position, and the high position is more relaxed in comparison. As the name suggests, it is a modern feel neck without any peculiarities. The fretboard surface is 9.5" R, and the fret size is 6105 Narrow Tall, which is a classic Custom Shop specification with a vintage look, but with a slightly modern update.

The original PU is "51 Nocaster" (measured value 7.2k) on the neck side and "Broadcaster" (measured value 7.1k) on the bridge side. The dense and organic vintage tone is sure to captivate players. The controls are finished with normal current wiring without any particular gimmicks and are ready for immediate use.

There are only a few minor dents and scratches on the back of the body.

The neck is in good condition and the truss rod can be adjusted to tighten or loosen. There are no string marks on the frets and about 90% of the frets are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.0mm on the 6th string (12F) and about 1.5mm on the 1st string (12F).

This is a must-try for those who have given up on the blackguard because of the thick neck shape, or because of the gap in feel when switching from a strat to a blackguard. The basic specs except for the neck are unparalleled, but the looks and sound quality are unmatched!
