Two-piece ash body & one-piece maple neck
Like the early models of the Telecaster in the early 1950s, the Fender '52 Telecaster features a two-piece ash body connected to the one-piece maple neck via the tried-and-true four-bolt binding, evoking the classic feel for the picking hand with its 1952-style "U" neck profile and 7.25-inch fretboard radius.
An offshoot of the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California, the Fender '52 Telecaster Relic MN 2-Tone Sunburst offers authentic tones, classic feel and, of course, that unmistakable Tele look.
Skillfully aged by the Fender Custom Shop, the '52 Telecaster bears authentic playing marks.
Handwound pickups
The classic sound of the Early Fifties Tele with unmistakable twang and growl is provided by two hand-wound Custom Shop '50/'51 Nocaster single coils, which were manufactured according to the classic recipe at the Custom Shop Facility in Corona, California. Both pickups are wired via the traditional wiring, which allows both pickups to be adjusted via a 3-way switch as well as a volume and treble control.
Vintage style tuners on the iconic Telecaster headstock provide stable intonation.
Tele Bridge & Vintage-Style tuners
Also a tone-shaping element, the Fender '52 Telecaster Relic MN can't be without a 3-saddle VintageStyle Tele bridge with vintage-style brass tailpieces and stamped serial number. The hardware finish, which has been tastefully ageing, is completed with six vintage-style tuners for the Telecaster's iconic headstock silhouette and a single-ply black phenolic pickguard.
