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.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
