Travel back with the Fender Custom Shop ’52 Telecaster electric guitar with a heavy relic finish, meticulously crafted to evoke vintage style and sound. It features a two-piece select ash body and a one-piece rift-sawn maple neck with a ’57-style soft V back shape and 7.25"–9.5" vintage compound radius. The maple fingerboard is topped with 21 narrow-tall frets and micarta black dot inlays. The ’52 Tele’s sound is powered by a duo of Custom Shop hand-wound ’50-’51 Blackguard single-coil pickups, plus ’51 modified Nocaster wiring with bridge/neck blend and a 3-way pickup switch. Additional appointments include a ’51-’54 Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles, vintage-style tuners, a bone nut and nickel/chrome hardware.

The Fender Custom Shop '52 Telecaster electric guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
