Summary:


This guitar is a highly customized, vintage-inspired Telecaster built with premium materials and a focus on classic tone and feel. It features a lightweight, two-piece ash body finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer and dressed in a traditional Butterscotch Blonde finish, paired with chrome/nickel hardware and a tweed hard-shell case. The custom maple neck has a substantial 1952-style “U” profile, offering a chunky, authentic early-Tele feel. Electronics center around a Hand-Wound Twisted Tele neck pickup and a Hand-Wound Original Blackguard bridge pickup, routed through a modern Tele control assembly for versatile tones ranging from warm, articulate cleans to classic Blackguard twang and aggressive bite. The Nocaster-style bridge assembly, 1951 Nocaster pickguard, and relic treatment complete the look, giving the instrument the appearance and character of a well-played early-1950s Fender that has been carefully preserved and upgraded for contemporary performance.
