pickup selector, single volume control with push-pull coil-tap switch, and absent tone control. The Pawn Shop Series included another new model - the '72 - which was a variation of the '51 that utilized a semi-hollow body, a rosewood fingerboard, dual humbucking pickups and a pickup blend control. In 2013, Fender discontinued the Pawn Shop '51 and reissued the original Squier '51. The specifications remain unchanged from the original '51 run, with the exception of a string through body and bridge on the reissues. The reissued run is also available in candy apple red, although the black finish did not return. In 2021, Fender released "Made in Japan Limited Run Fender '51" for Japan market only. This model was sold only at Fender Online Shop and FENDER SHOP in MIKI GAKKI AMERICAMURA. The price was JP¥132,000. Specifications: Vintage-Style Single-Coil Tele pickup (Bridge), Vintage-Style Single-Coil Tele pickup (Neck), Basswood body, Gloss Polyester Finish on body, Gloss Urethane Finish on neck, Maple “U” Shape neck, Maple 9.5” (241 mm) fingerboard, 25.5" (648 mm) scale length, 3-Saddle Vintage-Style Strings-Through-Body Tele® Bridge with Brass Barrel Saddles, 1-Ply Black pickguard, Master Volume and 3-Position Rotary controls, and comes with a Fender gig bag.
