Description

A great player's Telecaster, already broken in with an excellent feel! It has its original finish and a rewound bridge pickup. Previously, it was fitted with a set of Schaller tuners, resulting in enlarged tuner holes and six extra screw holes. The original tuners have been reinstalled, with one replaced tuner bushing. Otherwise, this guitar retains all its original components and shows considerable wear, most notably two gouges on the back of the body. The guitar features an interesting neck taper, starting thicker at the first fret and becoming slightly thinner at the 12th fret, providing great grip for cowboy chords and easier reach at higher frets. It has a bright, snappy acoustic sound that comes through the amp beautifully. It sounds killer!OHSC included.

About Telecaster

The Fender Telecaster, known affectionately as the "Tele," emerged as the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, marking a significant milestone in music history. Its straightforward design and innovative sound paved the way for new trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Since its debut in the 1950s, the Telecaster has been celebrated for its versatility, serving artists across genres from country to jazz, rock, and beyond. Its solid construction, characterized by a single-cutaway body made typically from alder or ash and a bolt-on maple neck, contributes to its distinct, bright, and cutting tone as well as a warm, mellow sound depending on pickup selection. With minor modifications over the years, the Telecaster has remained largely faithful to its original design, featuring two single-coil pickups, a three-way selector switch, and simple volume and tone controls. This enduring design has kept the Telecaster relevant and in continuous production, solidifying its status as a beloved icon in the guitar world.
