Full Description
View Full DescriptionOriginal Black Guard and Twisted Tele pickups
The hand-wound Original Black Guard bridge and Twisted Tele neck pickups meticulously created in the Fender Custom Shop are the heart of the '53 Telecaster NOS. These carefully calibrated pickups produce the signature Telecaster twang, renowned in the world of electric guitars for its bright, sharp, and rich tones. These pickups offer a perfect balance between treble and bass, giving the player a wide sonic palette to draw from.
The Original Black Guard in the bridge position delivers punchy, clear low-end, while the Twisted Tele in the neck position provides warm, lush tones, perfect for smooth lead playing. The hand-wound nature of these pickups also ensures a more organic, responsive tone, enabling the guitar to truly sing and resonate with each strum, enhancing the player's overall musical expression.

The AA flame maple neck of the '53 Telecaster NOS features a compound radius board, allowing for effortless playability and unparalleled comfort. With a vintage 7.25" radius at the nut, you can easily perform classic chording with comfort and familiarity.

This unique combination of vintage and modern makes the '53 Telecaster NOS a versatile instrument capable of adapting to any style of playing.
Additionally, the quartersawn flame maple neck not only looks stunning, but also adds to the overall stability and sustain of the guitar. The smooth finish and carefully crafted '54 "U" shape of the neck ensures that your playing experience is as effortless and comfortable as possible, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the music. With its exceptional playability and stunning looks, this guitar is a true masterpiece.
