FROM FENDER:

In 1951, caught between the end of the "Broadcaster" name and the dawn of the "Telecaster," Fender shipped guitars with no model name on the headstock at all — and a legend was born. Informed by a telegram from Gretsch that the “Broadkaster” name had been registered for a drum kit, Fender began clipping the “Broadcaster” name from headstock decals until the new Telecaster decals were delivered. Seventy-five years later, the legend lives on in the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster — a meticulous tribute to one of the most storied instruments ever made.

The 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster features an ash body finished in Nocaster Blonde and dressed in our exclusive Heirloom Lacquer treatment — an aged nitrocellulose finish carefully crafted to emulate the natural wear and patina of a vintage guitar that has spent decades in the hands of a player. The result is an instrument that doesn't just look vintage, it feels vintage, right out of the case. The substantial '51 "U"-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. True to the vintage accurate Nocaster specifications, the 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole single Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge and single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners deliver authentic Fender style, while the 75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster® pickups honor the guitar's direct lineage to the original — delivering that raw, chimey, unmistakable blackguard twang that started it all.
