The Made in Japan Traditional series was created by fusing Fender's traditional instrument-making DNA with sophisticated Japanese craftsmanship.

The Made in Japan Traditional '51 Nocaster® features a gloss finish Ash body, a classic Butterscotch Blonde finish and black pickguard. Custom Shop '51 Nocaster Tele® pickups deliver a sound true to their heritage with all the twang and shimmer of the original Nocaster® guitar.

A 7.25” radius fretboard, "U" shaped maple neck and 21 narrow tall frets provide vintage playability and feel. Vintage style tuners and a vintage-style String-Through-Body bridge with 3 brass saddles further compliment this instrument’s traditional feel and tone.
