It features a solid ash body finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer, which allows the wood to resonate naturally while gradually ageing in appearance over time. The classic Butterscotch Blonde finish paired with a single-ply black pickguard recreates the iconic “blackguard” aesthetic that defined early Telecasters and became a staple in rock, country, and blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003eThe guitar uses a one-piece maple neck with a vintage “U” profile and a maple fingerboard with a traditional 7.25-inch radius, closely matching the feel of early-1950s Fender instruments. With a 25.5-inch scale length, 21 vintage-style frets, and a bone nut measuring about 1.65 inches wide, it delivers the snappy attack and comfortable playability associated with classic Telecaster designs. Vintage-style tuning machines and a four-bolt neck plate maintain the historically accurate construction used on the original models. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1851\"\u003eElectronics include two American Vintage ’52 single-coil Telecaster pickups, controlled by a three-way blade switch, master volume, and master tone.
