USED Fender USA / American Vintage '52 Telecaster Thin Lacquer Butterscotch Blonde [11]

A model that recreates the specifications of a 1952 Telecaster and features a thin lacquer finish.

It features an ash body paired with a one-piece maple neck and comes in the traditional Butterscotch Blonde color. The finish, a thin nitrocellulose lacquer, is another defining feature, allowing you to enjoy the authentic feel of a vintage model.

It adheres to the specifications of the 1952 era, including a U-shaped neck, a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius, and a three-saddle bridge. This model is designed to deliver the classic Telecaster sound and look.

It also features vintage wiring that reproduces the specifications of the era, allowing you to achieve a unique, dark sound with significantly reduced treble depending on the selector switch position.

This guitar strongly reflects the original design philosophy, setting it apart from modern Telecasters.
