Up for sale is an absolute masterwork from Corona, California: a 2019 Fender Custom Shop '52 Telecaster Heavy Relic in classic Nocaster Blonde. Custom ordered directly by Lark Guitars, this guitar blends authentic early-50s Blackguard character with modern player-centric neck specs.
Featuring a 2-piece select ash body with a heavy relic lacquer finish, this Tele looks and feels like a well-loved vintage original. The hand-wound pickup combo delivers pure Telecaster magic—a Hand-Wound Twisted Tele in the neck for glassier, Strat-like chime, paired with a Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard in the bridge for classic high-output twang, bite, and midrange punch.
The quarter-sawn maple neck features a comfortable '52 Style "U" profile, upgraded with a 9.5"–12" compound radius and Narrow Tall (6105) frets for effortless chording down low and bend-free lead playing up high.
