Nash Guitars T52 -Ash Body - Maple Neck - Butterscotch Blonde- Heavy Aging W/Nash Hardcase

The Nash T-52 is a vintage-style Telecaster crafted by Nash Guitars. Designed by Bill Nash, it aims to deliver custom shop quality at a more accessible price, while faithfully replicating the iconic look, feel, and playability of a well-worn 1952 Fender Telecaster.

The T-52 not only captures the authentic look and feel of a vintage Telecaster but also incorporates sought-after modern features, including Lollar hand-wound pickups and Gotoh Vintage tuning machines.

Bill Nash is a true expert in vintage guitar craftsmanship, having worked extensively with classic instruments and understanding their authentic look and feel. The Nash T52 captures this essence with aged control knobs, pickguards, a worn finish, and vintage-style hardware that give it a genuine vintage appearance. Despite this, modern construction techniques ensure it performs like a new guitar. Hand-built and unique, it features a maple fingerboard, ash body, Jason Lollar hand-wound pickups, and a bridge crafted from vintage components, all enhanced by a meticulous aging process to replicate natural wear.

About the Lollar Pickups in this guitar:

The Lollar Vintage T (neck) has a full bodied midrange, clear top end, sounds full clean and will break up an amp moderately. It's wound with larger diameter wire for less compression than typical tele neck pickups. Alnico 5 magnets. Vintage style cloth lead wire. Wax potted.

The Lollar Special T (bridge) is a higher output version of the Vintage T Series Bridge with a rounder top end, a little more midrange, and more bottom end. Roll the tone control back a bit and get a somewhat convincing P-90/vintage humbucker tone. Flat pole design with graded Alnico 5 magnets. Vintage style cloth covered lead wire. Wax potted.

Neck: 7.6k
Bridge: 8.0k
