1952 Fender Telecaster

Great playing example of a vintage Blackguard Telecaster. Nice lightweight example at 6 lbs, 14oz with the bridge cover off, 7 lbs 1 oz with the cover on.

Perfect worn in and played case and body wear on the edges, just like you expect on a well aged and played example.

Original pickups and windings, original pots. 7.52 ohms bridge pickup, 7.47 ohms in the neck position, middle position.

This was purchased years ago from a well respected vintage seller, but it's time to sell it.

Non original vintage tweed case is from a 1958 Stratocaster.

9-9-52 TG neck pocket date
TG 10-23-52 neck date with single slot truss rod screw.

.8875 neck thickness at 1st fret
.941 7th fret
.998 12th fret

Neck profile is a classic rounded early Fender shape, with no V shape at all.

Original frets, and plays well.

Clarostat ink stamp volume pot.

Pickups have original windings.

Mix of single slot and phillips screws, as you see in 1952. Single slot string tee screw, single slot pick guard screws.

Pickguard has a matte look from the shine on the lacquer being worn off over the years.

Original strap & cord.

Bank wire transfer only.
