The Fender Custom Shop ’51 Nocaster Journeyman brings the raw power and simplicity of the legendary early Tele into your hands, with just the right touch of vintage wear. Finished in Aged Nocaster Blonde, this ash-bodied workhorse has all the snap, twang, and punch that made the Nocaster a cornerstone of rock, blues, and country. The 1951 “U” shaped neck feels substantial yet incredibly playable, while the compound 7.25"–9.5" radius fingerboard makes bending effortless without losing that old-school vibe. Outfitted with hand-wound ’51 Nocaster pickups, this guitar delivers everything from cutting leads to rich, dynamic rhythm tones with authenticity and bite.
