Fender Telecaster 52 Relic Masterbuilt Carlos Lopez (2021)

In 1951 the guitar formerly known as the "Broadcaster" was given a new, unusual name, which marked the beginning of the phenomenal triumphant march of the "Telecaster". Over the years a humbucker on the bridge has proved to be one of the most popular modifications. The look of the 52 Blackguard Tele at hand with this mod is of course immediately reminiscent of Keith Richards' preferred instrument called "Micawber". And masterbuilder Carlos Lopez has attached the utmost importance to the appearance of this dream Tele. Perfect relicing that still allows you to admire the beautifully grained ash body through the authentic Butterscotch finish. The pleasantly figured neck with its "60 Style Oval C" profile and 9.5'' fretboard radius together with the 6105 Narrow/Tall frets guarantees the very best playability. ...and you will really enjoy playing it! The combination of a classic Seymour Duncan "SH-1" on the neck with a handwound "Empire Red Hot" on the bridge delivers an absolutely awesome sound. The Seymour Duncan offers the balanced sound of the legendary P.A.F. humbuckers from Seth Lover and with the "Red Hot" you get everything you want from an exceptional Tele: twang, attack, bell-like and great tone.The combination of the two in the intermediate position is particularly convincing: wonderfully balanced and defined Keith Richards sounds without any mud or muck. Of course a little fatter at the neck, super bluesy. And at the bridge it doesn't just blow your socks off when distorted. We are delighted to be able to offer you this gem, which meets the very highest standards in terms of look, sound and playability, in mint condition.
