Overview

The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster HS Relic in Nocaster Blonde is a modern twist on one of the most revered electric guitars ever made. With its lightly aged nitro relic finish and premium ash body, this Tele delivers all the resonance, snap, and iconic looks of a golden-era Blackguard—plus the versatility of a humbucker in the neck position.

The unique HS pickup configuration pairs a Seymour Duncan Antiquity Neck Humbucker (aged for authentic looks and vintage tone) with a Hand-Wound Crushed Blackguard Tele Bridge Pickup, giving you everything from fat, warm leads to biting, classic Tele twang. The “dual stack” wiring and American Vintage Tele controls put legendary tone at your fingertips.

The chunky ’51 Nocaster "U" profile neck (AAA flame maple, medium tint nitro) is built for serious players—substantial at .950" (1st fret) and 1.000" (12th fret), with a 9.5” radius and narrow tall 6105 frets for ultimate playability. Classic touches like a bone nut, vintage clay dots, and aged chrome/nickel hardware complete the Custom Shop experience.

From country to rock, blues to jazz, this 1951 Nocaster HS Relic is an inspiring workhorse ready for studio, stage, or collection.
