    ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

    The '51 Nocaster is one of the coolest, and perhaps most important models in the history of Fender guitars. Once known as the Broadcaster, this "no-name" transitional guitar was a result of threatened legal action from the Gretsch company over the use of the name. Gretsch had a drum kit named "Broadkaster" and to avoid the confrontation, Fender simply cut off their headstock decals so that they read only "Fender". These prized collectables are some of the rarest Fenders in existence numbered at around 475 total.

    Fender first released the ’51 Nocaster reissue in 1995 to great acclaim, and they have since become a favourite among collectors and players alike. This particular Nocaster has the highly sought after John Cruz stamp on the neck, adding to its already long list of positive attributes.

    This is a ’51 Cunetto Nocaster in great condition. It has all the standard ’51 Nocaster features including vintage frets, a big fat neck profile and vintage wiring. With a killer lightweight ash body, a quarter sawn maple neck with classic Nocaster "U" profile, these Nocasters have all the details and vintage vibe that make them a staple in the history of the electric guitar. 

    This one was created by the Fender Custom Shop in 1998 and is one of those special guitars with amazing tone and resonance. It is a bit special in that it has a one-piece ash body, 9.5" fingerboard radius (earlier versions stuck with the traditional 7.25"), the large neck and the Nocaster pickups.

    The relic finish on this Nocaster is subtle and authentic, the wear is realistic making this guitar look the real deal. A classy nod to one of the greatest guitars of all time.

    The fact is that this ’51 Nocaster has lots of character, it plays brilliantly, it is light and resonant, and sounds fantastic courtesy of the killer Nocaster pickups which in our opinion are the best Fender Tele pickups you can buy. It is in super clean condition with hardly any fret wear.

    It features case candy including a 1950s style Fender leather strap and Fender Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity
