Offered for your consideration is this 2016 Fender Custom Shop 20th Anniversary Relic Nocaster — a beautifully crafted tribute to one of Fender’s most iconic early designs.

This instrument is in excellent overall condition and features a highly convincing, tastefully executed relic treatment. The aging is realistic and well-balanced, giving the guitar the look and feel of a well-loved vintage piece without appearing overdone.

Tonally, this Nocaster delivers everything you’d hope for from a great Custom Shop build. The factory pickups produce a wonderfully glassy, articulate voice with plenty of snap, clarity, and dynamic response. The sound is strikingly reminiscent of a genuine mid-’50s Telecaster — lively, open, and full of classic Fender character.

Playability is exceptional. The guitar is set up with comfortable low action and shows no fret wear, making it a true pleasure to play whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or at home. It feels broken-in and responsive, exactly as a great relic’d instrument should.

A superb example of what the Fender Custom Shop does best — vintage vibe, modern precision, and inspiring tone.

Comes with the original hard case, COA, & all case candy shown. (22)

Weight: 6lb 6oz | Nut: W: 1.64 H: 0.95 | 12th: W: 2.02 H: 1.0

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
