Haven't heard anything about this particular model. Are you sure that the guitar wasn't labeled "Nocaster?"
Back when Leo Fender created what would become the Telecaster (and the world heard angels singing shortly thereafter), the model was called the "Broadcaster." There was conflict with the model name with Gretsch, who used the name "Broadkaster" (I think it was for their drum line, but not sure). Leo issued the guitar for a little while without a model name, and they became known as "Nocasters," because of the lack of model name. They are highly prized by vintage Tele collectors. Kind of ironic that FMIC owns Gretsch these days.
While I'm not a fan of the relicing that the Custom Shop does (saw them taking a Dremel tool to a Clapton "Blackie" Strat neck to age it - WHY?), their stuff is absolutely hand crafted and not a part of the regular Fender production line. Custom Shop guitars also command extremely high prices.
Does this help?
