1951 Fender Telecaster
This '51 Fender Telecaster serial #0997 features a "TG 10/26/51" neck date and a "10/28/51 TG" body date so it is one of the earliest examples of a blackguard Tele after the Nocaster period! It has been well loved and played displaying typical use for a guitar of this vintage, but it was well-kept and is almost entirely stock with a replaced nut being the only modification. It plays beautifully with a full soft-V contour and the original frets show heavy wear, but we decided to leave it as stock as possible and leave it to the buyer to decide on whether they need to be replaced. This guitar is packed with mojo and is incredibly resonant and lively ~ The pickups are super articulate and sound amazing! We love it when vintage Blackguards like this come through the shop. Please reach out with any questions on this golden-era workhorse! Includes a non-original vintage Poodle case.
