Condition Notes:

– Condition: 9/10

– Fret wear: The frets look like they’ve been dressed before, but there’s still plenty of life left in them! There’s some extremely light wear in the first position upon close inspection, but no egregious divots or anything at the moment. It’s a good ways away from needing any work or there being any buzz due to fret wear!

– Any wear of note: The guitar is in overall amazing shape! You wouldn’t guess that it’s 19 years old by looking at it. It exhibits some extremely light scratches here and there that you can only really notice in certain light if you’re looking for them. Nothing that will even photograph. It also exhibits the normal extremely light swirling in the clear coat (Very standard wear for a used guitar. Can happen from simply being wiped/cleaned with a cloth). But very minimal and to be expected from any used guitar. No dings, dents or damage. Really in amazing shape overall! The tuning machines must have been switched out by a previous owner from the original locking tuners to the non-locking ones currently on the guitar. But the current tuners are a Fender USA staggered sealed back non-locking tuner and are very high quality!

– General notes: This is your classic Fender tele with the right slight modern tweaks to make it even more optimal! The woods are the tried and true tele combo of an ash body with a maple neck and fretboard. The neck has the classic “U” shape but with a slightly flatter 9.5″ fretboard radius, making it easier to bend but still comfortable for chords. The pickups are the Fender Samarium Cobalt Noiseless single-coils, which have that sweet tele bite without the 60-cycle hum! Plus, this guitar is equipped with Fender’s S-1 switching for even more tonal options, making it even more versatile. But our favorite feature is the aesthetic of the Butterscotch Blonde finish with the Bakelite pickguard. Letting the beautiful grain of the ash body come through and harkening back to the original telecasters from the 50’s that started it all! But specs aside, this guitar is comfortable, versatile and a great player. Everything else is just a bonus!

– Accessories included: Original Fender molded hard-case only
