Super Heavy Relic means deep finish wear, checked flash coat nitro, worn-through spots, and relic'd hardware — this looks like a guitar that spent seventy years on the road, not seventy days in a case. The body is two-piece ash sorted for lightweight, which puts this one at 7.5 lbs. A relic'd '51 Nocaster pickguard and vintage silver Tele decal finish the blackguard-era look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe riftsawn maple neck is carved to a '57-style Soft \"V\" (.880\" at the 1st fret, .990\" at the 12th fret) with a dark tint flash coat nitro finish and a matching riftsawn maple fretboard. Riftsawn stock is chosen for stability and consistent grain, and the Soft \"V\" is a substantial handful that gives you something to push against. Black micarta dot inlays, a 7.25\" to 9.5\" compound radius, and 21 narrow tall frets keep the feel period-correct while making the upper register more forgiving than a true vintage board. Scale length is 25.5\" with a 1.625\" bone nut and 4-bolt construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElectronics are hand-wound 50-51 Blackguard single-coils, the pickups that define early Telecaster tone — bright, wiry, and cutting at the bridge with real warmth on the neck. Volume and tone controls with a 3-way blade selector keep the wiring straightforward. A 51-54 Tele bridge with vintage-style barrel saddles and vintage-style tuners with the Fender logo round out the relic'd nickel and chrome hardware. Whether you're a country or rockabilly player who wants blackguard snap, a blues and roots guitarist looking for a workhorse that already looks the part, or a collector after a serious Custom Shop relic, this one covers it. This '52 Telecaster (Serial #R151149) includes a tweed Fender Custom Shop hardshell case.
