2011 Fender 53 Telecaster Relic Custom Shop (1953 reissue) Nocaster Blonde
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This 2011 Fender '53 Relic Telecaster has seen a couple of changes, opening the door for you to customize it if you want without being the first to change it from original spec.
The frets are jumbos, and they were very professionally done. This gives a whole new feel to a Tele, and it is pretty awesome! It plays really nicely and you can really dig in on the new frets. The neck is chunky, but not the fattest in the shop.
The guitar weighs in at just a hair over 7 pounds, 6 ounces - a really comfortable weight. We got it set up with new strings and the action is perfect. There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.
The pickups are Lollar Specials. The saddles are changed, the manufacturer of which I'm not certain. There are no other changes or repairs.
The original case, paperwork, bridge cover and cable are included (the COA too). The original pickups and saddles are not.
