Nocaster construction made of ash and maple
Following the basic recipe of the genuine Nocaster models from the early fifties, the Fender '74/'51 Nocaster Heavy Relic MBDB Nocaster Blonde #R131535 is made up of the classic ingredients and features a slab-built body made of resonant ash. In addition, a maple neck screwed to the body via the classic 4-bolt connection is used, which corresponds to the traditional specifications of the era with its 1950s blackguard backshape. Last but not least, the detailed heavy-relic finish evokes the authentic look and unmistakable feel of an original that has been played for decades.
Exquisite pickups - Handwound by Josefina Campos
For the pickup equipment of the Fender '74/'51 Nocaster Heavy Relic MBDB Nocaster Blonde #R131535 no expense or effort was spared and extremely exquisite pickups were selected. The Fender Wide Range Humbucker installed in the neck position impresses with a wide-ranging sound image and, thanks to the use of CuNiFe magnets, produces typical Fender sounds of the seventies. In the bridge position, on the other hand, a '50 - '51 Nocaster single coil, which was personally wound by Josefina Campos , provides the sound. Josefina skillfully continues the legacy of Abigail Ybarra and is responsible for the most sought-after pickup models from Fender.
