FENDER '51 Nocaster MN Journeyman Relic Black #R17234
Telecaster electric guitar from the Fender Custom Shop with Fender '51 Nocaster pickups, including case and certificate
With the Fender '51 Nocaster MN Journeyman Relic Black, the Fender Custom Shop presents a subtly modernized interpretation of the model produced only in early 1951 without type designation on the headstock. Accordingly, the electric guitar has a body made of light ash and a screwed neck made of maple, which thanks to the rift cut has standing annual rings and lies comfortably in the hand with the "Nocaster U" profile. Two Fender '51 Nocaster Single Coil pickups in neck and bridge position on the guitar amplifier deliver a fat sound, each with the typical twang, making it the perfect basis for assertive blues, country and rock tones. Another special feature is the Greasebucket Tone Circuit, which reduces treble and bass when the tone potentiometer is turned back, making the sound fatter without appearing muddy. Last but not least, the Fender '51 Nocaster Journeyman Relic Black features precise Fender Vintage Style tuners and the proven Fender Nocaster bridge with Gatton-style strings and string guide through the body.
The Fender '51 Nocaster Journeyman Relic from the Custom Shop offers two '51 Nocaster Single Coil Pickups with Greasebucket Tone Circuit.
