Authentic 1950s Tone and Construction

A swamp ash body provides the classic tonal foundation of early Telecasters, offering warm resonance with clear, bright highs, a defined midrange, and focused low end. This lively tonewood delivers the snap and clarity that made the Telecaster famous.

The Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish captures decades of natural ageing, complete with subtle checking and light wear, giving the guitar the look and feel of a well loved vintage instrument.

Early 1951 U Shape Neck Feel

The substantial 1951 U shape maple neck features thick shoulders for an authentic early 50s feel and enhanced tonal depth. Finished in Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer, the neck feels smooth, comfortable, and broken in from the first moment you play it.

A 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard with vintage tall frets provides classic comfort while still allowing expressive bends and wide vibrato.

Pure Vintage 1951 Telecaster Pickups

A pair of Pure Vintage 1951 Telecaster pickups faithfully reproduce the crystal clear chime and raw, steely twang that defined Fender’s earliest solid body guitars. Constructed using traditional materials such as cloth covered wire, fibre bobbins, and alnico magnets, these pickups deliver articulate cleans and biting attack with unmistakable vintage character.

Period Correct Hardware and Details

A vintage style 3 saddle bridge with brass barrel saddles delivers authentic early Telecaster tone, sustain, and resonance with the look and feel of the original design. Vintage style tuning machines complete the classic aesthetic while providing dependable tuning stability.

A commemorative 75th anniversary neck plate marks this model as a true celebration of Telecaster history.
