Fender · electric guitar
The Fender Telecaster 1953 'Nancy' is a classic single-cutaway electric guitar featuring a solid ash body with blonde finish, fretted maple neck with 21 frets and black dot position markers, and a 25 1/2 inch scale length. The guitar is equipped with two single-coil pickups (including distinctive Don Mare units on the legendary Roy Buchanan example), black bakelite pickguard, volume and tone controls, and string-thru-body design. The tone is bright and cutting with strong midrange presence ideal for country, rock, and blues lead work. The ash body construction and single-coil pickups contribute to the signature twang and clarity.
