Ash body & '52 U-maple neck

For the basic construction of the '52 Telecaster Super Heavy Relic MN 2-Color Sunburst , Fender draws on the Custom Shop's high-quality wood selection and uses a particularly fine piece of ash for the body, while the neck is made of maple in keeping with the traditional basic recipe. The expansive '52 style U-neck profile provides a genuine Tele feel, which, in combination with the authentic 7.25" fretboard radius, creates incomparable playability for vintage enthusiasts.

Traditional '51 Nocaster Wiring

The two hand-wound Custom Shop '51 Nocaster single coils in the neck and bridge positions are wired via an authentic '51 Nocaster wiring. In contrast to modern Telecaster circuits, this type of wiring provides a blend control instead of the usual tone control, which allows the neck pickup to be blended continuously with the bridge pickup in switch position 1. Position two offers the sound of the undamped neck pickup, while the third switching position gives it a slight treble damping.
