This is one of the best sounding teles. For me personally, when I played a tele, I always go for a 52 because that's the sound I want with a tele. The lower output custom shop pick up gives it signature tele sound and I have used it extensively for recording. The guitar is very easily played. Smooth up and down the neck. It currently set up with medium to low action. The case is also in very good condition. Why am I selling it? I bought too many guitars when I was a serious musician, but now the amount of playing can no longer justify owning these many axes; my style has gradually shifted back to jazz - where I started in school. I would rather find them a good home than having them sitting in my closet. Buying a guitar online sometimes could be a bit worrying but I've sold more than 20 high end guitars/amps throughout the year on the bay, and each of them is very happy with the purchase. Please look at the pictures carefully and let me know if you had any questions.
