2023 Fender Custom Shop '52 Telecaster Time Capsule Package Faded Nocaster Blonde

Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this Custom Shop '52 Tele is totally dialed in and ready to join you on the main festival stage or wherever you are performing. This Tele has the Custom Shop Time Capsule Finish Package which combines NOS and Closet Classic parts with non-Relic Aging to create the look of a vintage guitar that has been sheltered in its case and never really played. If you want an authenticly aged finish but don't want the dings, dents, and scrapes that come with a Relic finish, this is the guitar for you. Comes with a Custom Shop Tweed hard shell case and Certificate of Authenticity. See below for more details and to view the Custom Shop Traveler Spec Sheet.

FROM FENDER CUSTOM SHOP:

A Fender Custom Shop instrument is extraordinary. You know it when you play one—it’s definitely more than the sum of its parts. It’s filled with intangible, electrifying elements that add a new dimension to your playing experience. It’s as if the instrument itself is imbued with history, alive with the spirit of the place where it was built and the devotion of those who crafted it.

The Custom Shop is home to Fender’s most skilled and talented builders. It’s a bustling, noisy and creatively volcanic place that re-earns its nickname—the Dream Factory—every day. Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their art—part craftsman, part artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist. They’re the best at what they do, and they pour all of their passion, hard-earned knowledge and skill into every instrument they build. It’s no ordinary place, and the creations that come from it are no ordinary instruments.
