Fender 75th Ann American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster Maple Fingerboard (Blonde)

The 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster recreates one of the most historically significant moments in electric guitar history. Between the end of the Broadcaster name and the birth of the Telecaster, Fender shipped guitars with no model designation on the headstock at all - a transitional period that produced some of the most collectible instruments ever made. This meticulously accurate reissue features an ash body finished in Nocaster Blonde with exclusive Heirloom Lacquer treatment, a nitrocellulose finish aged to replicate decades of natural wear and patina from the factory. The substantial 51 U-shaped hard rock maple neck delivers period-correct feel with a 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Narrow 12th fret face-dot spacing matches original 1951 specifications precisely. Triple brass saddle bridge and single-line Fender Deluxe tuners maintain era-appropriate hardware appointments, while the sole Phillips-head screw on the entire guitar appears at the truss rod nut - exactly as it did seventy-five years ago. The 75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster pickups reproduce that raw, chimey twang that defined early rock and country recordings.
