1951 FenderTelecaster – Blond
This 1951 Fender Telecaster has plenty of vibe, and it’s obvious why after just a few moments playing this beauty! The “Telecaster” name arrived in September of 1951, and with a body and neck date of October ’51, this guitar is a great piece of Fender history. The neck on this piece has been played in for a super slick feel, and the full shape perfectly fits the palm. Based on the guitar’s finish, we can assume that it was no stranger to smokey bar gigs, and you can even see a couple of cigarette burns up at the headstock. The playability of these original frets is still excellent, and thanks to a new nut, the action is set up perfectly. If you’re looking for the ultimate player and a piece of early Fender history, this is the one for you!
