Description
This 1951 Fender Nocaster is a killer player-grade example with a unique history. It likely left the factory as an Esquire and was later routed for a neck pickup, bringing it closer to classic Tele specs. The guitar has been expertly refinished and features several replaced parts, making it a great option for someone after vintage tone and feel without collector-grade pricing. For the full list of mods and repairs, check out the Specs tab. Includes a period correct Thermometer hardshell case.
