Packaging and seals to items have not been torn, removed, or damaged. Both guitars are currently selling for $8,250.00 each. "Very unique feature set:The Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster is unlike any other Tele you've ever seen. The 2-piece select alder body sports a whole host of modifications that aren't stock Tele features. For starters, the bridge is brass with a small crack in it rather than the traditional chrome. The bridge pickup is mounted directly to the body. Electronically, the Andy Summers Tele incorporates 3-way switching with a mounted mini-toggle phase switch. A third knob mounted below the two traditional Tele knobs controls the on-board overdrive unit. A second mini-toggle activates a body-mounted preamp (the original preamp "died," and the Fender Custom Shop was able to recreate the Police-era preamp). Rounding out the electronics, there's a humbucker at the neck that can conjure some ferocious tones.Limited Run of only 250 instruments:The prototype, built by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Dennis Galuszka over the course of a year, is currently in use with Andy now. The guitar features the same "eccentric" modifications that the original had when Summers first bought it, most of which were unchanged throughout the nonstop work and excitement of the Police years. Now, Fender couldn't be more proud and excited to unveil a very special 250-instrument Limited Edition run of the Fender Custom Shop Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster as part of the Fender Custom Shop's legendary Tribute Series. It's a note-perfect replica of the 1961 Tele that Summers used to help propel the Police to untold heights of worldwide pop superstardom.Summers played number one of the 250 replicas when the Police once again electrified the music world by reuniting on Feb. 11, 2007, to open the 49th annual Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. Even more exciting, Summers will play the replica during the momentous 2007 30th anniversary worldwide Police reunion tour, one of the most hoped-for and eagerly awaited events in pop music history. It promises to be a thrilling musical event featuring one of rock's most innovative guitarists playing a spot-on replica of one rock's most distinctive guitars.A rare instrument:The complete run of Andy Summers Tribute Telecasters involved the efforts and expertise of all the Custom Shop Masterbuilders. Sweetwater has the good fortune of offering this instrument, and if you've already checked out the detailed photos at our online Guitar Gallery, you'll agree that it's an amazing recreation of a great axe!"
