Description
What makes this guitar special? Outside of having a very limited and hard to find “burnt” finish, the pickups and treble bleed make this one heck of a super-charged Tele. With as much snap and twang as you could ever want, this guitar sounds fantastic low and even better loud. The body is incredibly light for a Telecaster which also provides great balance when playing. The neck is easy and familiar for players of any other Fenders, and with the setup our techs have given it, plays with incredible ease. The traditional appointments over the burnt body give this guitar a very genuine and tastefully rustic look to match it’s undeniably great Tele tone.
Condition: Overall, this Telecaster is in very good condition. There is a quarter-sized chip right behind where an arm would rest, and there are some other small nicks, dings, and scratches in the body, but all in all, this guitar is still in great shape, especially for over 30 years old. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should. The frets do show some wear but are even, still play fine, and still have a good amount of life left in them.
Body: Non-contoured burnt body (likely basswood) with gloss finish. Vintage-style 3-saddle bridge. Single-ply black pickguard. Chrome hardware.
Neck: Medium round C shape maple neck and maple fingerboard w/ black dot inlays. Vintage-style tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut width.
Electronics: Seymour Duncan Vintage Rhythm STR-1 in the neck and Seymour Duncan Vintage Broadcaster Lead STL-1b in the bridge. Treble bleed mod. 3-way switch. 1 volume, 1 tone control.
Neck: 7.84k Ohms
Bridge: 7.92k Ohms

Playability/Sound: For a guitar with replaced pickups, this thing is more Tele than most Teles. The Seymour Duncan pickups sound absolutely fantastic with a nicely-dipped mid-range and a ton of snap and twang. The medium round C shape neck is familiar and extremely easy to move around, especially after the setup our techs have given it.
Case: Includes Hardshell Case.
