I always appreciate it when you say without further “delay” rather than “ado”.

Damn, Nick. Beautiful playing.

Player equals the guitar. 👍🎸

Amazing guitar, amazing amp… and amazing player! 🔥🔥🔥

What a player!

Wow, that sounds glorious, and great playing!

Dope new intro neighbor!

Nice partsCaster

So basically it's a no caster no caster as everything has been replaced...

What a great package.

Cool

That is my favorite pick of the day combo! The only way it would have been better would have been with a Roadhouse 12 amp (Princeton 6g2 clone with a 12” speaker and a negative feedback off switch).

Anyone know the ballpark price it sold for. With refin and changed pickups it’s must have been fairly low for a Nocaster. I’m going to guess maybe 15-18k? Maybe lower ? I got a 52 refin with rewound era correct pickups and reproduce guard, 50s tuners earlier this year so probably around the same I imagine

I got a Broadcaster with a body refin and a refret and a rewound bridge pickup last year for about $32,000 so I’m guessing 26-29k for what this guitar sold for.

Faaaaack!🤙🏻💯🔥🔥

Nope.

Would be nice if you actually got in a nocaster WITH the original wiring - not everybody would convert it to modern wiring.

If it’s already a refin with non original pickups then it would be silly to keep the original wiring no?

@@IrishBog Obviously. But I am not talking about a refin with non-original pickups.

Calling this a 1951 Nocaster is like calling the band Neal Schon is in Journey.

Cool video, but there are about 40 guitars and amps currently for sale at Emerald City that I would love to hear featured on a video. Seeing videos on sold gear is kind of lame, even if it's cool, rarebird stuff. Maybe let Nick or Aaron rock one of the four 1960s Gretsch guitars on the wall thru... let's see, one of the three 60s Vox amps at the store, all currently for sale?

But I guess they have to make this one now since it’s leaving the store

If it doesn't have the dark circuit, it's not a Nocaster.

Re-fin body, re-fin neck, re-fetted, repo pick guard, 5 repo tuners, none original pick-ups...lol Original bridge, 1 original tuner, and maybe original pots. That has to be the cheapest "Original" '51 Nocaster on the market...lol

I’m guessing maybe around 13 to 16k? That body and neck are still worth quite a bit

so how much of the 1951 piece are you actually buying here? Slightly misleading eh

Body refin, neck refin, not original pickups, just one original tuner, repro pickguard. Yet at the end you call it an original Nocaster?!!

This is virtually a completely destroyed artifact. Then rebuilt to have a 20% original guitar.

20% is a bit harsh. I would say 50%. Get some era correct pickups in there …maybe lap steel conversion bridge pickup and you get up to maybe 70% You get damn close to the original sound without paying an extra 30k for the finish tuners and guard

Its the same body and same neck. I don't see how this could be "only 20%" of the original guitar.
