imgettingcloser Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hey everyone, Quick question. I'm building a replica 52' Telecaster and was wondering if anyone knew if the neck had a high gloss finish or was it more like the newer tele's with more of a semi to matt finish? Also anyone know if the Fender logo had nitro over it? Thanks for the help, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I doubt if any of the 1952 finishes are in good enough shape to be able to tell....but I'll venture that they were gloss nitro like the rest of the instrument. I don't know for sure if the original logos had nitro over them or not. You might try the TDPRI, they'll have some Tele historians over there who'll know.

GA Bert Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Fender didn't do semi-gloss until way later. It was definitely high gloss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Fender didn't clear over the decals. Loads of vintage info here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
