A Piece of History, Reborn

In 1951, Fender was in the middle of a name change, shipping out one of the most revolutionary designs in music history with nothing but a logo on the headstock. The "Nocaster" was born, and that raw, defiant spirit is captured perfectly in the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster. This isn't just a guitar; it's a meticulously crafted tribute to a legend, built to feel and sound just like the originals that rolled off the line three-quarters of a century ago.

Built From the Ground Up for Authentic Tone

It all starts with a solid ash body, the tonewood that defined the snappy, resonant, and dynamic sound of the first solid-body guitars. The body is finished in an Heirloom™ Nitrocellulose Lacquer, a special treatment that gives it the look and feel of a prized vintage instrument that's been lovingly played for decades. Paired with a substantial 1-piece maple neck carved into a period-correct 1951 "U" profile, this guitar fills your hand and feels instantly familiar, like an old friend.

The Sound That Started a Revolution

The heart of this Nocaster is the pair of 75th Anniversary Blackguard Single-Coil Tele® pickups. These are voiced to deliver that unmistakable early-50s tone, raw, chimey, and full of twang. The bridge pickup has all the bite and cut you need for chicken-pickin' country leads and gritty rock and roll, while the neck pickup offers a warm, clear voice perfect for bluesy chords and smooth, glassy runs. Together, they produce a sound that is both timeless and incredibly versatile.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
