We are delighted to be able to offer you not just one of these phenomenal '52 Wilson Telecasters in a beautiful “Aged Natural” finish, but two specimens of them. The interested Telecaster lover only needs to choose which wood grain and which color tone appeals to him the most, because fortunately both guitars show the same fantastic specs. Masterbuilder Dale Wilson has opted here for a lightweight ash body, a little stronger neck with a “51 U” shape (.950''-1.000''), a modern 7.25-9.5'' compound radius and the proven Narrow/Tall frets.. This really leaves nothing to be desired in terms of playing pleasure. One look at the guitar and a short sound test is enough to understand why Dale Wilson has such long waiting times and is regarded by Fender as the ultimate Tele king. Beautifully matt natural finish with just the right degree of relicing so that the guitar really looks like a real old one. The two “Handwound Twisted Tele” pickups transmit the guitar's above-average vibration behavior in the best possible way. Just the right twang, ...nicely bell-like, open and with enough mids to avoid sounding thin or shrill. This absolute highlight for all Blackguard fans is including the frets in mint condition.incl. original case, certificate, spec sheet, strap, case candiesweight: 3260 gramssubject to differential taxation

About Telecaster

The Fender Telecaster, known affectionately as the "Tele," emerged as the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, marking a significant milestone in music history. Its straightforward design and innovative sound paved the way for new trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Since its debut in the 1950s, the Telecaster has been celebrated for its versatility, serving artists across genres from country to jazz, rock, and beyond. Its solid construction, characterized by a single-cutaway body made typically from alder or ash and a bolt-on maple neck, contributes to its distinct, bright, and cutting tone as well as a warm, mellow sound depending on pickup selection. With minor modifications over the years, the Telecaster has remained largely faithful to its original design, featuring two single-coil pickups, a three-way selector switch, and simple volume and tone controls. This enduring design has kept the Telecaster relevant and in continuous production, solidifying its status as a beloved icon in the guitar world.
