This T-52 Fender Telecaster copy is an example of some the pretty good re-creations. Everything about the guitar as far as construction is the real deal, made by NashGuitars. It's considered a lightly relic'd variety, which is a bit more realistic. Even truly old Fenders of that era that have seen a lot of play are not as worn as the heavily relic'd ones.  I purchased the guitar in 2015 I think and this the way I got it. The headstock was refinished professionally quite nicely and a Fender logo replaced the Nash Guitarz logo.  Great work, 2 decals embedded in the lacquer, the whole 9. As good as it sounds and Plays, I'd love to keep it but I've got way too many guitars. Intonation and action are impeccable.However, although Bill's sig is gone, the Nashguitars name and serial number are embossed in the 9.5" radius,medium "C" profile neck. His name is on the bottom of the pups too, Lollar on this one and an Ash body.There’s a You Tube video to demonstrate the sound characteristics, but look for it on reverb d0t c0m. The camera and sound aren't state of the art but sufficient. the amp I used is a "BillM" modded Fender Blues Jr. Actually I have to give a lot of credit to Brad Hassebrock too for some suggestions on that amp. If you're located in the US and want a better deal, go to reverb d0t c0m ;)
