This 2025 NAMM Limited Edition 1951 Nocaster Journeyman Relic offers a more restrained take on early Blackguard style, finished in Aged Cherry Sunburst with tasteful aging that highlights the contours and grain without pushing into heavy relic territory. The lightweight ash body keeps the response open and resonant, while the Journeyman treatment gives it the feel of a well-cared-for original that’s seen years of honest play. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck features the substantial Nocaster “U” back shape, delivering a full, authoritative grip that stays true to the earliest Tele designs. A modern 9.5" radius and narrow tall frets keep it comfortable and familiar under the fingers, while hand-wound Blackguard pickups provide classic snap, punch, and clarity. Modern Tele wiring with a Greasebucket tone circuit keeps the response clean and controlled across all positions. Comes with Deluxe Hardshell Case, strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
