Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Lush Closet Classic – Candy Apple Red – 2018

Beautiful Fender Custom Shop ’52 Telecaster, finished in Candy Apple Red nitrocellulose lacquer with Fender’s Lush Closet Classic ageing treatment.

Built in June 2018, this is a superb example with a 2-piece select ash body and quarter-sawn maple neck with a substantial Large C profile. The Lush Closet Classic treatment gives the guitar the subtle appearance and character of a well-cared-for vintage instrument, rather than the much heavier ageing of a full Relic.

The guitar is in excellent condition and plays beautifully. It comes with its original Fender Custom Shop tweed hard case, Certificate of Authenticity, original Shop Floor Traveler and extensive original case candy/documentation, all pictured.

A fantastic-playing and extremely attractive Custom Shop Telecaster, with the Candy Apple Red finish looking particularly good against the maple neck.
