Fender Custom Shop 1951 Nocaster Super Heavy Relic, Plum Purple Metallic over Sonic Blue
Forged from roasted ash and finished in a glorious Plum Purple over Sonic Blue, this incredible piece was spec'd by the team here at Sherwood, made just for you! Sporting a Super Heavy Relic, the sonic blue peeks through just enough to make you consider painting it all blue again. At an featherlight 7.4 pounds, it is wonderfully light and resonant.
Armed with Josefina hand-wound P-90 pickups (if you know you know!) this ain't no daisy rock. Beneath the battered exterior lies a player's dream wrapped in vintage drag, headlined by a quartersawn roasted maple neck and an ebony fingerboard sporting a tight 7.25-inch radius.
Complete with a bone nut, vintage-style hardware, and a deluxe hardshell case, this guitar is equal parts fine art and heavy artillery. It’s an instrument built to be dragged from gig to gig until the rest of the neighbourhood finally gives up. Whether you are playing smoky blues bars or just terrorizing your cats, this piece is guaranteed to turn heads and start conversations.
