The Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Super Heavy Relic in Aged Dirty White Blonde captures the raw, road-worn spirit of a true workingman's guitar—faithfully aged to perfection and crafted with modern precision. Built from a 2-piece select ash body and finished in a thin flash coat nitro lacquer, this Tele resonates with the airy openness and snap that defined the golden age of Fender tone.

Its 1-piece quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable 1957 Soft “V” profile and a 9.5" radius fingerboard for a vintage feel that plays effortlessly. The Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50–'51 Blackguard pickups deliver classic Tele twang and grit—articulate, dynamic, and dripping with vintage character.

Complete with 3-saddle brass bridge, knurled chrome controls, and vintage-style tuners, every detail is authentically period-correct yet masterfully executed. The Super Heavy Relic aging brings decades of stage wear and patina, giving this guitar the look, feel, and soul of a well-loved 1950s original straight out of history.

A true player’s dream—lightweight, resonant, and dripping with vintage mojo—this Willcutt-exclusive Custom Shop Tele stands as a testament to Fender’s timeless craftsmanship and the enduring power of the Blackguard legacy.
