Features We Love:
Custom Shop Built
Home to some of the most talented luthiers in the world, Fender Custom Shop has been producing incredible guitars since they first opened back in 1987. With a wealth of knowledge and skill all under one roof, each guitar is instilled with some of that Custom Shop magic. This particular guitar is Master Built by Ron Thorn, making this an exceptional guitar on every level.
Handwound 51 Nocaster Pickups
The handwound 51 Nocaster pickups provide an excellent, vintage tone that truly captures the tone of this legendary era of Telecasters. Capable of both crystalline cleans and dirty overdriven tones, the sound from these pickups is truly outstanding.
Relic Finish
This guitar's Relic finish completely evokes the idea of an instrument that's been heavily played but well taken care of over the decades. Taken out regularly for some serious sessions and gigs and put back in its case at the end of the night. The result is the gorgeous light eggshell-cracking to the finish, and that unmistakable fingerboard patina that's the sign of a real workhorse.
Who Is It For?
Someone looking for a stunning recreation of, and tribute to, one of the iconic pieces in electric guitar history.
