Fender Custom Shop '52 Telecaster Deluxe Closet Classic - Nocaster Blonde

Experience history with the Custom Shop’s 1952 Telecaster Deluxe Closet Classic, designed with brilliant attention to detail to faithfully recreate the timeless essence of the Tele that started it all. Sweetwater’s guitar pros agree that the hand-selected 2-piece ash body — paired with a solid 1-piece, rift-sawn maple neck — captures the aesthetic and tonal elegance of this founding Fender. The classic comfort of the ’57-style soft “V” neck profile is topped with 21 narrow-tall frets, providing thumb-over players with a vintage 7.25–9.5-inch compound-radius. Era-accurate tones are easily achieved, thanks to the Custom Shop’s hand-wound ‘50/’51 Blackguard pickups, which are outfitted with ’51 Modified Nocaster wiring. Vintage flares range from the tuning machines, the bone nut, and the disk string tree, all the way down to the ’51-’54 brass barrel saddles in the bridge. It all equates to a timeless Tele that isn’t just for show!
