Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Heavy Relic – Faded Aged Nocaster Blonde

Vintage Telecaster Vibe, Modern Custom Shop Precision – Ultimate “Heavy Relic” Experience

---

Overview

Step into the most legendary era of solid-body guitar history with the Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Heavy Relic in Faded Aged Nocaster Blonde. Part of the 2025 Time Machine Collection, this jaw-dropping instrument perfectly captures the look, feel, and sound of a well-loved, road-worn original—with all the unmatched playability and reliability of a brand-new Custom Shop masterpiece.

The two-piece off-center ash body is expertly sorted for weight and resonance, then finished in a thin lacquer Faded/Aged Nocaster Blonde for pure vintage Fender tone. The Heavy Relic treatment adds deeply realistic “dirty checking” and playwear, bringing authentic decades-old mojo right to your hands.

The rifle-sawn maple neck sports the iconic 1951 “U” profile (.920" at the 1st fret, .990" at the 12th), a dark-tint nitrocellulose finish, and 21 vintage upgrade frets on a 7.25"–9.5" compound radius for smooth, effortless playing. Classic details abound: black micarta face dots, bone nut, and a relic’d vintage silver Fender Tele logo.

For tone, you get the holy-grail combination: Hand-Wound ’51 Nocaster pickups (neck and bridge) wired to a “51 Mod Nocaster Relic” control set, delivering all the snap, punch, and clarity that made the Telecaster a legend. Chrome/nickel hardware, a relic’d Tele bridge and “V” logo neck plate, and a black single-ply pickguard complete this time-traveling Tele.

Your Heavy Relic Nocaster comes in a Custom Shop Strat/Tele Tweed case, complete with certificate of authenticity.
