Fender Custom Shop Nocaster — Transparent Orange

A Fender Custom Shop Nocaster. In 1951, after Gretsch objected to the name Broadcaster, Fender simply clipped the model name off the headstock decal and kept building. Those few months of guitars with just "Fender" on the headstock became the Nocaster, and the Custom Shop has been recreating them ever since.

What makes this one: an ash body under a glossy transparent orange finish, with the grain showing right through. One-piece flamed maple neck with black dot inlays and a figured maple headstock, Kluson-style vintage tuners, and the Custom Shop logo on the back of the headstock. Classic Tele layout: two single-coil pickups, three-saddle ashtray bridge with brass barrel saddles, chrome control plate and a cream pickguard.
