Time Machine '51 Nocaster NOS is a model with the same, exact specs as the original Nocaster from 1951. It comes with a solid, single-cut body made of ash. Back then, ash was the primary body wood, instead of alder, which came some time later. Since the beginning, the design policy was functionality before luxury, which led to the simple and flat-top bodies with string-through construction. Necks were, and still are, bolted to the bodies. Initial Telecaster/Nocaster/Esquire models were painted in Butterscotch Blonde and White Blonde colors. The Time Machine'51 Nocaster has Vintage Blonde paint with gloss finish. Vintage-styled bridge with a metal cover is fronted with a classic set of two single-coil pickups. Maple neck is fit with a standard 21-fret maple fingerboard.
