Sold: Fender Custom Shop '53 Telecaster - Relic Nocaster Blonde 60's Oval C neck
What's Hot
For sale is my stellar sounding Fender Custom Shop '53 Telecaster.
Build date is 2013. Spec
wise - it's a 53 blackguard but with a 60's Oval C .790 - .930 one-piece quartersawn maple neck. Sanko 6105 frets, 9.5 radius. Modern wiring and some very splendid signed Abby Ybarra hand-wound pickups (signature on the bottom). The pickups are incredible!
It has a relic nocaster blonde finish over a 2 piece swamp ash body (it's the most resonant, and acoustically loud Telecaster I
own and has seen off a fair few other CS Teles. I put this down to the lightweight ash body - it's 6lb
10oz or thereabouts).
It's in very good/excellent condition. Smoke-free home, tweed hard case and all case bits, cert, strap, etc inc. Playability is great - no issues. The nut is good, the neck's in fine fettle, and the truss rod is good. It has a
little fret wear (tried to get this in the pictures) though plenty of life left in them. Intonation is good for chordal work and no buzzy or dead frets. Currently set up with 10's.
It's a cracking Tele and I'm only selling as I'm trying to get myself down to two guitars! (Madness I know, if I change my mind I'll withdraw).
Let me know if you have any questions or want more info.

Correct. Though this listing is a Telecaster built to the spec of a 53. As @slacker noted, the colour is Nocaster Blonde. Cheers!
I thought 53 was the year they use when they take elements from multiple years and combine them?
