Blackguard Twang with a Historically Accurate Nocaster Feel
The Fender American 75th Anniversary Vintage II 1951 Nocaster in Blonde celebrates one of the most historically charged Telecaster designs. Its ash body wears an Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish, crafted to emulate the natural wear and patina of a vintage guitar that has spent decades in a player’s hands.
The thick ’51 U-shaped hard rock maple neck gives the guitar a substantial feel under the fingers, while the 184.1 mm (7.25") radius maple fingerboard and vintage tall frets keep the playing experience firmly in early-’50s territory. Narrow 12th fret face-dot spacing and the period-style hardware details reinforce the vintage-accurate Nocaster approach.
75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster pickups deliver the raw, chimey twang associated with the original blackguard lineage, with enough directness for country snap, clean rhythm work and bright lead lines. A triple brass saddle bridge and single-line Fender Deluxe tuners complete the vintage-style setup.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this 1951 Nocaster is a standout choice for players who want a historically focused Telecaster with a thick U neck, Heirloom lacquer finish and unmistakable blackguard-style pickup response.
