In previous videos I did reviews on the Fender Telecaster American Pro series 1 - see review here - (   • UB:24 USA Fender Tele Pro Butterscotc...  ) and the Fender Telecaster Custom Shop 61 Relic, see review here - (   • UB:25 Custom Shop Fender Telecaster L...  ), so it was only going to be a matter of time before I would look into Fender’s Custom Shop 1952 Nocaster.

In this video I unbox and review a very close rebuild of one of the most iconic guitars you can buy today. Starting out in 1950 with a very short life under the name ‘Broadcaster’ which was removed to avoid a possible law suit, there would be a brief period of time that this new solid body electric guitar type would be nameless, and later to be known as the ‘Nocaster' period. This late 2022 re-make of that classic guitar sports the following hand-wound pick-ups. In both the bridge and neck positions are Original Black Guard Single-Coil 50-51 pick-ups giving that classic Telecaster Twang, yet also a deep warm tone in the neck position. The guitar comes with a secondary volume/tone/selector panel set, should you want a more modern configuration for the pick-up selection and tonal options. The body is Ash and the neck and fingerboard is rift sawn maple sporting 21 narrow tall 6105 frets and all worn-in to make for a fabulous playing experience. There are those who would say, a Telecaster is all you need, and while that is quite a broad statement and open to debate, this particular 52 Telecaster model is quite capable, and while it does lend itself to the brightness it’s known for, it is also well able to cover more subtle tones. As you would expect of the period, the Telecaster comes with a very nice G&G manufactured Tweed Case.
