Condition & features. 

Overall this incredible 1951 Fender Nocaster ( Blackguard ) is in very good condition. A lot of play-wear around the whole body. Nicks and dings and other cosmetic wear. The original frets and nut are in great shape with plenty of life left. The original Blond finish has a lot of gorgeous finish checking. The maple neck has play-wear spots on the back and front of the neck. The original decal is perfect and intact.
It features a solid and light ash body and a wonderful profile fretted maple neck with 21 frets and black dot position markers. Single “round” string tree. Original individual “no-name” Kluson Deluxe tuners with oval metal buttons and slot-head screws. The tuning keys are stamped “2356766/PAT. APPLD” on the bottom base on the plain metal-cover “black-bottom” pickup with slot-head adjusting screws with an one black six-polepiece “coated metal plate bottom” pickup with flush polepieces Single-ply black Bakelite pickguard with slot-head screws.

Two controls (one volume, one blender) plus three-way “tone” switch with slot-head screws and original “patent number” black plastic “barrel-like” tip, all on metal plate adjoining pickguard. Original Shorter chrome knobs with more pronounced domes and heavy knurled sides. This Fender Nocaster combined bridge/tailpiece with three brass saddles and slot-head intonation adjustment screws.

Originality

This 1951 Fender Nocaster serial number 1227 is all original throughout with no modification, breaks or any repairs. The original solder joints are covering the stamping on the both of the potentiometers, but nothing has ever been touched in this guitar. Pickups and the electronics wiring remain untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints, no re-wound pickups. All original and 100% correct.

Even comes with its original “thermometer” case with chocolate brown plush lining. Latches and handle are in perfect working order. There is written a name on the case. Maybe the original owner, maybe not but it’s super cool piece of history. Complete with its original “ashtray” bridge cover.
