FENDER Custom Shop Blackguard HS Telecaster Left Hand Journeyman, Natural Blonde

The Fender Custom Shop Left-Hand 1950 Blackguard Telecaster® in Super Natural Blonde is a masterfully crafted reimagining of the earliest era of Fender tone, combining vintage-correct details with subtle modern refinements for exceptional playability and tone.

Built from a 2-piece select ash body finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, this Time Machine series Tele delivers the resonant punch and clarity that defined the golden age of solidbody guitars. The 1-piece maple neck offers a smooth satin feel and a comfortable compound 7.25″–9.5″ fingerboard radius, making it equally suited to rhythm and lead playing.

A Custom Shop Hand-Wound ’50/’51 Blackguard bridge pickup provides the unmistakable Tele® twang and snap, while the Seymour Duncan® Seth Lover humbucker in the neck position adds warmth, depth, and vintage PAF-style sweetness. Together, they deliver a versatile tonal range controlled by a Dual Stack HS Tele wiring setup and 3-way blade switch.

Authentic vintage hardware complete this left-handed masterpiece’s timeless look. The Fender Custom Shop Left-Hand 1950 Blackguard Telecaster® is a true tribute to the roots of rock ’n’ roll — handcrafted for discerning players who demand the very best.

Includes Deluxe Hardshell Tweed Case, strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
