Product information

This Tele is ideal for country players, chicken-pickers, and Tele fans looking for a resonant, high-response instrument.

This Custom Shop LTD ’51 Nocaster hits that sweet spot between vintage-leaning tones and vibe with modern playability. The fat neck is the star here. It's a round carve with big shoulders that fill the hand without slowing you down. Paired with a flatter radius and larger frets, it plays shockingly fast for a neck this substantial; bends feel effortless, chords stay clean, and the whole guitar invites you to dig in.

Acoustically, it’s loud and snappy thanks in part to that fatter neck. Plugged in, that immediacy turns into a muscular Tele voice with a little more heat than a strictly vintage set, but none of the sharp edge that sometimes comes with hotter winds.

It’s fat, powerful, and still undeniably twangy, perfect for players chasing that crisp chicken-pickin’ attack without sacrificing body or punch. And at this weight - 7lbs 5oz? It feels perfect in-hand. One of those guitars that feels alive before you ever hit the amp.

In short: A super lightweight, hard-charging Nocaster with a round, vintage-inspired neck and a bold, snappy voice. Country players will feel right at home, but anyone who loves a responsive, resonant Tele will find a lot to love here too.
