2024 Fender Telecaster '54 Custom Shop Closet Classic 1954 Reissue ~ Faded Nocaster Blonde

From the listing

Seller's description

This Tele looks like it spent the last 70 years doing exactly what many of us aspire to do: absolutely nothing strenuous.😄 Fender’s Custom Shop took a ’54 Tele recipe, gave it a gorgeous Faded Nocaster Blonde lacquer finish, added just enough Closet Classic checking and aging to convince your buddies you discovered it behind Grandpa’s winter coats, and somehow managed to do it without the vintage price tag requiring a second mortgage. And underneath all that beautifully convincing old-guitar attitude is one heck of a Tele: lightweight ash body, chunky 1954 “U” maple neck, compound-radius maple fingerboard and a pair of Hand-Wound Loaded ’51 Nocaster pickups. In other words, it looks old, feels old, sounds appropriately rude…and thankfully nobody actually spent 70 years spilling beer on it.

No, I’m not giving you $800 off because you found one.
