In 1996, Fender celebrated its 50th anniversary by releasing a special '52 Telecaster model that paid tribute to the original 1952 design. This limited-edition guitar featured a classic Butterscotch Blonde finish over an ash body, capturing the vintage vibe of the early Telecasters.
The maple neck had a U-shaped profile, offering a substantial feel reminiscent of the '50s era. Equipped with vintage-style single-coil pickups, it delivered that sought-after twang and bite characteristic of the original Telecaster sound.
Additional touches included brass saddles on the bridge and period-correct hardware, completing the authentic look and feel. This anniversary model was produced in limited numbers, making it a prized piece for collectors and players alike.
A couple of marks and dings on the body and neck. Slight marks of use on pickguard. Includes tweed hard case and spare bridge & bridge cover (missing one saddle.)
