Overview

Experience the birth of the solidbody electric guitar with the Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Journeyman Relic in Nocaster Blonde. This premium Custom Shop Tele reimagines Leo Fender’s game-changing design, with a lightweight, resonant ash body and a thin-skin, lightly aged nitro finish that’s pure golden-era magic.

The AAA flame maple neck is carved to the iconic ’51 Nocaster "U" profile—a substantial, chunky feel that’s perfect for players who want vintage Tele substance and serious tone. A modern 9.5” fingerboard radius and 21 narrow tall 6105 frets provide effortless playability and precision.

Pickups are all about classic Tele sound: a Hand-Wound 50–51 Blackguard single-coil in the neck and a Hand-Wound Crushed Blackguard Tele single-coil in the bridge, delivering iconic bite, clarity, and snap. Modern Tele wiring, aged hardware, a black phenolic guard, and classic relic appointments finish the look and feel.
