What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Heavy Relic from the Time Machine Collection captures the raw spirit and unmistakable tone of one of the most influential electric guitars ever built. Its 2-piece ash body finished in aged Nocaster Blonde with heavy relic checking delivers authentic vintage character, while the rift-sawn maple neck with a substantial ’51 U profile offers a bold, comfortable feel that invites expressive playing. A pair of hand-wound Blackguard Tele pickups produce the classic snap, twang, and punch that defined early Telecasters. Meticulously crafted by the Fender Custom Shop, this Time Machine ’52 Tele is both an inspiring performer and a highly collectible investment-grade instrument.
