2025 Fender Custom Shop 1954 Telecaster Time Capsule Package - Nocaster Blonde
2025 Fender Custom Shop 1954 Telecaster Time Capsule Package in Nocaster Blonde
This guitar is in “new” condition. Taken from box to test and photograph. Includes original Fender Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, Shop Floor Traveller and all case candy. Will be shipped in original Fender shipping box.
The Fender Custom Shop delves deep into the early years of the Tele to introduce a unique, transition-era model – the 1954 Telecaster. Early 1954 marks the last production run of the infamous single-ply black phenolic pickguard on what we now know as a Nocaster Blonde-finished body, eventually moving to a single-ply white ABS pickguard to match the all-new Stratocaster.
Preserving the iconic appointments of the sought after early Telecaster guitars, this 1954 model features a two-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side), a one-piece rift sawn maple neck with ’54-style “U” back-shape and vintage compound 7.25” to 9.5” fingerboard radius. Equipped with a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound Loaded ’51 Nocaster pickups, this guitar has all the clarity and twang you would expect from an early-‘50s Tele, but with a bit of extra power on tap.
Other premium features include 21 medium vintage frets, fat '50s tele wiring, 3-way switch, single-ply black phenolic pickguard, '51-'54 Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, disc string tree.
