Fender Nocaster Telecaster ’51 1951 Custom Shop Relic reissue both cases COA

Price: 1186.0
For auction here is my Fender Time Machine Custom Shop ’51 Nocaster reissue.  This guitar was made in 2007, and I bought it new then.  This particular model is in the “relic” finish, which simulates a vintage early ’50′s guitar. 
I would grade this guitar as being in exellent shape.  It has been played by me at practices and gigs, but has been well cared for.  The additional wear besides the ‘relic’ job is all honest play wear.  There are no playing or tone issues, nor any problems with this guitar.  Just open the case, tune it up (I usually detune a full step when shipping), and off you go. 
The guitar comes with both cases (regular issue thermoplastic and the ‘poodle’ case, which I personally like….quite small/exactly the right size), Certificate of Authenticity, black leather 50′s style strap, mist and wipe cleaner/sampler (unopened), bag with ‘instruction book’/polishing cloth/cord/bridge cover-ashtray etc (unopened), and all the hangtags.  To the best of my knowledge, all the case candy is present and part of the deal.
This guitar weighs ~6lbs 12 oz; very nice and lightweight.  And it sounds great!  For chicken pickin’ or for big chords through a Vox amp, this is your standard.
The Nocaster specs have changed a bit over the years as the Fender Custom Shop is always incorporating new changes.  Here are the specs for this guitar:  swamp ash body, (thin) nitrocellulose laquer finish in Nocaster blonde, black bakelite pickguard, original custom shop Nocaster pickups, original wiring which I have changed to the modern tele wiring scheme, master volume, master tone, three way pickup selector (neck, neck+bridge, bridge), vintage style brass saddles, vintage style Gotoh tuners, maple neck, early ’50′s U shape neck profile, nut width 1.650″, fingerboard radius 7.25″, and vintage frets,   Again the original circa ’51 wiring scheme has been updated to the modern telecaster scheme. 
I have had a ‘life change’ and am having to sell things.  Otherwise, this guitar would not be sold.
