1952 2013 Heavy Relic Fender Custom Shop Tele Antique Natural
I think this color looks more real, that the NoCaster Yellow ones. Go look at most 62+ year old Tele's. They are not all Banana Yellow Yellow. You see the NoCaster C-Shops.. which I also like, but everyone has them and all over for sale.. You want a more real looking, here is your chance. Made in limited quantities. Ships new in orig Fender box. It plays and SOUNDS a 10 out of 10...in My honest Humble Opinion******
Below is cut in past. Heck with that my words. It feels lighter than the 7lb 6oz it weights. Has 6105 Frets, 9.5" Radius. The Fattest C-shop or ANY Fender Neck I ever played. Big U Shape Mans Neck... Get over if you can play it. If you can play guitar, you can play any neck. I'm 5'10" 175lb average size. I play it easy.. But man you can Dig into it!
This is $4,440 street price else where!
The Fender Custom Shop '1952 Telecaster is a killer take on this classic instrument. The "battered Tele" is arguably the gold standard in solidbody electric guitar mojo; this '52 Tele gives you the twang, bite, and vibe of the original - without costly visits to your luthier. This axe may look a half-century old, but it sports a supremely playable modern 9.5" radius and 6105 frets on its FAT FAT AND REAL FAT chunky U-shaped neck. Topped off with superb-sounding custom shop pickups and custom wiring

The Heavy Relic treatment = real deal visuals
Fender Custom Shop's Relic treatment creates instruments that are spittin' images of the originals. This 52 Telecaster is hard to tell from the real deal!
A period-correct nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar a timeless, classic look, while the relic process gives you a guitar that looks like it's seen its share of hard touring.
Nitro finishes - standard back in the '60s - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities!
