All the classic \"Blackguard\" touches are here: 1-ply Black phenolic pickguard, ash body with classic Blonde finish and medium-tint riftsawn maple neck with a '52 U-shaped profile. The first Telecaster had some subtle changes from the ’51 nocaster, including a slow transition from slot-head screws to Phillips-head, reflected here by both types appearing (as happened on some models). Not only does a lacquer finish let the body wood “breathe” with sustain, it wears in a personal way and is an authentic original-era element.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does \"Relic\" Mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e  The authentic worn-in wear of a guitar that has experienced many years of regular use in clubs and bars.
