Listed here is a modified early 2000s Fender 52 Telecaster. This guitar has had a number of modifications. Most notably a heavily flamed roasted maple Nocaster neck from Musikraft. This neck has a flat 10-16 compound radius, making bends on the upper registers a breeze. The neck also features jumbo stainless steel frets with the narrow 12th fret dot spacing that was present on the original 1950/1951 Broadcasters and Nocasters. This guitar also features a couple of great sounding Lindy Fralin Blues pickups. Famously used by tone chaser and telecaster legend and Brad Paisley.
This guitar has been refinished in a semi translucent butterscotch nitro blonde finish. The finish is "rustic" and bears some over spray "orange peel" in the top bout and cutaway. The less than even finish gives a relic'ed look to this guitar. Good guitars get played. This guitar has been played extensively and there are marks on the fretboard and body as evidence of this. However the stainless steel frets bear virtually no wear marks. A great playing, great sounding telecaster that sure looks the part.
