Seller's description

The Fender Custom Shop excels in a lot of ways - vintage, modern, aged, super clean, traditional, unique, straight-forward and funky.  Whatever you want, they can do.  While they always nail the aged finishes, and we have a fine selection from Journeyman Relic to Super Heavy Relic, we've decided to also provide an offering of perfectly clean, NOS guitars.  We did this after noticing that a lot of oustomers were doing NOS custom builds.   This Custom Shop '52 Telecaster is a testament to their ability to pull off vintage recreations with modern playability, featuring a Modern C neck profile, flatter compound radius (9.5 - 12.0"), 1.6875" nut width, and the ease of the truss rod adjustment being at the headstock.  What you get elsewhere on the guitar is an otherwise all-traditional design.  In our eyes, it's the best of both worlds.    This Tele has a two-piece select ash body that is super lightweight - the guitar weighs just 6.2 lbs.  But perhaps the star of the show is a stunning AAA flame maple neck - it looks great in the photos but even better in person.  It's not just about looks - this neck feels incredible.  The satin lacquer finish makes a dream to play, and the combination of  Modern C neck profile and 9.5 - 12.0" compound radius creates a modern playing experience while allowing easy bending without the fear of fretting out.  It measures .860 - .920, providing a great feel for those that love the vintage feel but also want to be able to play fast.    For the pickups, we chose the Custom Shop '51 Nocaster set, which provides the sound of the original Telecasters that Leo Fender first designed.  It's the true "old school" tone, with everything you need and nothing that you don't.  Created with the original design in mind, these pickups accurately recreate the twang and shimmer of the originals.  They are period-correct, with Alnico 3 magnets, a flush stagger and enamel wire.  The result is a tight low end, clear, balanced midrange and sizzling highs when nec
