- In 1951, Leo Fender changed the world of music forever by introducing the first-ever mass-produced solidbody electric guitar. Leo was going to call it the Broadcaster, but the threat of a lawsuit from Gretsch (who produced a drum set called the Broadkaster) forced him to abandon that plan. Ever the resourceful (and frugal) businessman, Leo simply snipped the word “Broadcaster” off the headstock decal and shipped his nameless guitars out. Since the guitars had no model name, musicians dubbed them “Nocasters.”
Because of their incredible rarity, original Nocasters have become some of the most desirable vintage pieces out there. So, we decided to team up with our friends at the Fender Custom Shop and issue a Wildwood 10 version that marries the vibe of the originals with modern ergonomics. The Wildwood-exclusive 10″ radius and 6105 frets are a perfect pairing with the comfy '60 Oval C-shaped neck profile, and the Custom Shop hand-wound Twisted Tele pickups deliver spectacular sounds. We’re sure you’ll find a Nocaster here that will grab you by your heart strings, so we invite you to browse away-just make sure your keyboard drool shield is in place!

"the sweet weathering of pseudo-time" may be the best description of relic I've heard yet.
Looks like that one was found at the bottom of the garden in amongst the compost. Great playing as always though!
If guitars smoked crack..
Nice channeling of JIMI!
That's beyond a heavy relic.....it's been in a war and through a flood.....sounds great
ok thissss I like because its not a relic...its art!!!! love it
Done relic'd her they did eh? Sounds killer though, you can't say she don't! The great thing about relics is they feel so broken in and comfortable and I bet this one is no different! would love to play it and own it!
That relic job is absurd.
This one was restored after being recovered from the Titanic...
ok
😮thats too much. and i dig relics. 🤔
That thing looks like the 'Keith Richards' of guitars
Which Swamp this guitar was found and pulled from?
I can't be the only who feels that the Fender Customn Shop has lot its way a bit. I mean, what's meant to have happened to this guitar? Or who ever saw a real Nocaster that looked like this?
Sounds great tho.
A bit? W
Yikes! Looks awful but sounds great
actually love this one and I hate relics!!
Hey Wildwood you guys have got to get a better sound system! Please
Yescaster
That is amongst the worst relic jobs I’ve seen in a long time.
Great playing as always.
I’ll never get this. Imagine paying triple the going rate for a comparable car for a reissue that’s been relic’d to hell and back
ooh err, what a train wreck look. Cheers Greg.
Someone threw this poor guitar downstairs. She is still alive though xD
Sounds great, looks ridiculous. No subtlety at all. Not even close to realistic wear and tear unless it was rescued from a fire or found at the bottom of a pond and magically rehabilitated. The Custom Shop needs to do better. A relic job is one thing but this is cartoonish and trying too hard to be authentic when it clearly isn’t.
I think relic guitars have their place, but this guitar looks unloved and abused.
Fender’s lost the plot on these Relics. And I say that as a fan, when it’s done tastefully. Go look at real vintage guitars. Most are what would be a Fender light to maybe medium Relic. The Journeyman series captures fairly well. This shipwreck is just embarrassing.
