Description
What makes this guitar special? Not only is this model no longer made, but it’s not terribly easy to find in the first place. It is a great build top to bottom and serves as a great tribute to the original ’66 Tele that served its tenure with Strummer in many unique incarnations. This model features the grey auto primer and black spray paint finish that he sported for a while, complete with a recreation of the wear he induced himself, as well as distressed hardware to simulate its years of use. The C shape maple neck is incredibly comfortable and easy to move around and looks fantastic to boot. The pickups have classic Tele twang with a bit of ‘60s-era vintage vibe, a combination that sounds absolutely fantastic through a turned-up tube amp. All in all, this is a fantastic playing guitar that looks the same; an appropriate homage to the man who played it.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. Outside of the purposeful relic job on this guitar, everything is in great shape. The frets show only light wear and still have a ton of life left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.

Neck: C shape maple neck and 7.25” radius rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. Vintage-style frets. 1.650” nut width.
Electronics: 2 vintage-style single-coil Telecaster pickups with Alnico magnets. 1 x master volume, 1 x master tone, 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 7 lbs 5.4 oz
Playability/Sound: The C shape neck on this guitar plays beautifully top to bottom and the setup our techs have given it makes it plays that much better. The pickups sound fantastic and have a ton of vintage Tele vibe and the controls are intuitive.
