The Fender Vintera II '50s Nocaster MN Blackguard Blonde is all about the Nocaster, which marks a particularly interesting piece of music history. As the forerunner of the famous Telecaster, the Nocaster marks the transition of the original Broadcaster electric guitar to the Telecaster known today and stands like no other instrument for the authentic sounds and incomparable feeling of the early 1950s. As part of the Vintera II series, Fender breathes new life into the Nocaster and presents classic features and design specifications of this classic. including gig bag!
Following the specifications of the original Nocaster of the Early Fifties, the Fender Vintera II '50s Nocaster MN Blackguard Blonde has no model name on the headstock.
Early '50s Thick "U" profile and 7.25" radius.
To skillfully recreate the era's exceptionally beefy necks, the Fender Vintera II '50s Nocaster uses a classic maple neck with a particularly fat Early '50s Thick "U" profile and pronounced shoulders for matching thumb rest. On the other hand, the traditional Fender fingerboard radius of 7.25 inches ensures pleasant chord playing, while the 21 frets in Vintage Tall format provide the best conditions for expressive vibrato playing and far-reaching bends in all fingerboard positions.
Vintage-Style Early-'50s Single Coils
Two vintage-style Early-'50s single coils are responsible for the appropriate sound character at the amplifier. With an emphasis on crystal-clear highs and unmistakable twang, the two single coils produce everything a true Tele fan's heart desires. For this purpose Fender goes back to the specifications of the classic pickup recipe from the early fifties, and to be able to produce authentic sounds of the original. Only the wiring has been modernized to provide a common tone control for the pickups.
