Description
The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster NOS is a faithful recreation of the legendary Fender guitars produced between the winter and summer of 1951. These models were lovingly named "Nocasters" by their fans, due to their lack of an official name. Boasting a slew of period-correct appointments and a spankin' pair of '51 Nocaster pickups, this guitar is perfect for musicians who have always wanted to shred on a genuine '51 Nocaster without paying the vintage markup.
The Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster NOS features a 2-piece select ash body, giving it a sweet, resonant sound with rich lows and a well-defined midrange. Its Butterscotch Blonde finish beautifully showcases the wood grain, while the NOS treatment gives it the appearance of a perfectly preserved guitar from the early '50s. This combination of aesthetic appeal and sonic excellence makes it a standout instrument for any collection.
Guitarists who prefer a slightly chunkier neck profile will appreciate this model's Nocaster "U" shaped plain-grain maple neck and 9.5-inch radius fingerboard. Together, they create a decidedly old-school feel that'll keep you coming back for more.
But it's not just about feel-the Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster is a vintage tone machine ready to sling out twangy, shimmering riffs, courtesy of its '51 Nocaster pickups. From the moment you first plug this guitar in, you'll notice the lows are tighter and more responsive than your average Telecaster. You'll also hear a remarkably clear, balanced midrange that'll help your solos cut through any mix.
Complete with a tweed hardshell case, a Certificate of Authenticity (C.O.A.), and various case candy, the Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster NOS is a world-class instrument that'll become the crowning jewel of any guitar collection. Please reach out for the full story on this incredible Fender guitar!
