An exceptional 2012 example of Fender's American Vintage '52 Telecaster Reissue, finished in the iconic Butterscotch Blonde that defined the original. This is the guitar that started it all, a faithful recreation of Leo Fender's revolutionary design that changed music forever. With period-correct appointments and that unmistakable Tele snap and clarity, this instrument delivers authentic 1950s tone and feel.

A Transitional Model

This 2012 example is a transitional model featuring a non-V serial number, making it part of the final run before Fender updated the American Vintage series in 2012. These transitional guitars are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate their place in the evolution of Fender's reissue programme.

The Original Electric Solidbody

The 1952 Telecaster was the world's first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar. This American Vintage reissue captures every detail of that groundbreaking instrument, from the ash body and single-ply black pickguard to the vintage-style hardware and electronics. It's a piece of music history you can hold in your hands.

Features

  • USA-made ash body with gloss nitrocellulose Butterscotch Blonde finish
  • One-piece maple neck with vintage-style 7.25" radius
  • Vintage-style single-coil Telecaster pickups with authentic '52 voicing
  • Single-ply black Bakelite pickguard
  • 3-saddle vintage-style bridge with brass saddles
  • Vintage-style tuning machines
  • Period-correct wiring and controls
  • Includes original hardshell case

Condition: Very with moderate play wear. The nitrocellulose finish has aged beautifully, developing subtle character while remaining in superb condition. Professionally set up with low action.

Our Story

Cody’s Guitars began with a simple mission: to create a space where musicians of all levels feel supported, inspired, and genuinely taken care of. After spending almost two decades working hands-on in the industry, we wanted to build something that focused on quality, honesty, and real musical connection. What started as a small idea quickly grew into a trusted local hub for players seeking gear, guidance, and a friendly place to talk shop.

We specialise in guitars, pedals, and amplifiers, offering a curated range chosen for tone, reliability, and feel. Whether you’re hunting for your first guitar, upgrading your rig, or chasing that one perfect sound, we’re here to help you find the right match.

Alongside retail, we also provide guitar lessons, tailored for beginners, seasoned players, and everyone in between. Our teaching approach is patient, practical, and focused on helping you grow at your own pace.
