This Nash T-52 embodies the soul of the original 1952 Telecaster, capturing the essence of a guitar that helped define modern music. Handcrafted by Bill Nash and his small team in Olympia, Washington, Nash Guitars has built a reputation for producing instruments that bridge the gap between vintage authenticity and modern reliability. Each Nash guitar is aged and finished entirely by hand, with an obsessive attention to detail that gives every instrument its own unique character. From the nitrocellulose lacquer finish to the perfectly rolled fretboard edges, the T-52 looks and feels like a well-loved vintage guitar, but plays with the precision and stability of a newly built custom shop instrument.

Under the hood, the T-52 features a lightweight ash body paired with a maple neck, delivering a snappy, articulate tone with rich sustain and plenty of vintage-style twang. The Lollar hand-wound pickups — the Vintage T in the neck and the hotter Special T in the bridge — cover a wide range of tones, from glassy cleans to gritty overdrive. The Special T offers a bit more punch and warmth than a traditional Tele bridge pickup, while the Vintage T neck pickup provides smooth midrange and clarity, making this guitar equally at home in blues, country, rock, or Americana settings. Whether you’re chasing classic Nashville bite or smoky soul tones, this T-52 gives you the flexibility to find your voice.

What truly sets the Nash T-52 apart is the way it feels — broken-in, responsive, and alive under your fingers. The medium relic finish tells a visual story of decades of stage time, while its modern build ensures perfect intonation, smooth playability, and dependable performance night after night. It’s a player’s instrument through and through: a vintage-inspired workhorse built for the modern stage, designed to inspire creativity from the first strum. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this used model is in excellent condition and ships with a softshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
