Description
The Original. No need for reinvention.
The guitar that launched a revolution. The ‘51 Telecaster captures everything that made Fender’s original solid-body electric such a game changer, faithfully recreating the unmistakable feel, tone and aesthetic of the iconic Blackguard era. Finished in timeless Butterscotch Blonde and supplied with its original tweed case, this 2024 example delivers authentic vintage styling with the precision and reliability of a modern USA-built instrument.
Loaded with a pair of Pure Vintage ‘51 Telecaster single-coil pickups, it produces everything from bright, articulate country twang to rich blues bite and cutting rock tones, while the chunky early-'50s neck profile offers a substantial, confidence-inspiring playing experience that feels every bit as authentic as it looks.
Condition is good overall. The frets show no wear, leaving the guitar playing beautifully throughout the neck. There is a small chip to the front edge at the tip of the cutaway horn, along with another small ding on the front between the bridge and lower strap button. The finish also shows light swirling and general signs of use consistent with careful ownership, but nothing that detracts from its superb performance or undeniable vintage appeal.
A beautifully built modern tribute to one of the most important milestone in modern musical history.
