I'm talking about the heavy relic versions.

I was redirected here from the Telecaster area. Thanks much for the help

The difference is the 52 has a humbucker? I thought given the year moniker there would be something more fundamentally different in the design of the two guitars.

Thanks,

What, exactly were you expecting? There is very little difference between an original 52 and original 53. The humbucker is not original.

I just thought that there would be a distinct difference in design or construction given the moniker of the different years. Why give them a different name, then? That's all.

Thanks,

Neck shape is the biggest difference, and even it is slight.

Are you referring to the Custom Shop versions or the original 52/53 Teles?

You don't want to get into even the slightest discussion about the slightest difference in neck shapes. Believe me...

You asked the followup question. Neck shape issues can only really be resolved by having the matter in hand..ya gotta play 'em. For very diplmatic reasons, I can't tell you how I know.
