Built By Renowned Masterbuilder Greg Fessler

The Fender Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster Deluxe Closet Classic is a faithful recreation of one of Fender’s most iconic instruments. Finished in a timeless Nocaster Blonde lacquer, this Tele delivers the vintage feel and tone that defined an era, paired with the expert craftsmanship of the Fender Custom Shop.

The 2-piece ash body resonates with classic clarity, while the rift sawn flame maple neck and fingerboard add both beauty and stability. A compound radius (7.25"–9.5") offers smooth playability across the fretboard, complete with black Micarta dot inlays. Powered by hand-wound 50–51 Blackguard pickups, this Telecaster delivers authentic twang, snap, and warmth that’s unmistakably Fender.

Finished with a vintage-style RSD Telecaster bridge, period-correct tuners, and packaged in a Fender Custom Shop tweed hardshell case, this limited Masterbuilt Tele is both a player’s dream and a collector’s treasure.
