Overview

The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster HS Journeyman Relic in Nocaster Blonde reimagines the iconic Blackguard Tele for today’s player. With its gently aged Journeyman relic finish and light, resonant ash body, this guitar channels vintage Fender magic while offering the expanded tonal range of an HS configuration.

At the neck, a Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker delivers fat, creamy leads and jazz warmth. In the bridge, a Hand-Wound Crushed Blackguard Tele Pickup provides the cutting clarity and twang that defines the Telecaster. Combined with dual-stack HS Tele wiring and a 3-way switch, this guitar covers everything from modern rock and blues to classic country and beyond.

The chunky ’51 Nocaster "U" profile neck (AAA flame maple, 9.5” radius, 21 narrow tall 6105 frets) gives you serious substance for chording, bends, and high-energy playing—while the medium-tint relic finish looks and feels authentically vintage.

Finished with vintage hardware, a black phenolic guard, bone nut, and classic relic appointments, this Nocaster is Custom Shop artistry at its finest—perfect for the stage, studio, or serious collection.
