THE STORY ABOUT THIS GUITAR:We had a customer that was having a hard time deciding between this guitar and a different one.  They ended up purchasing this guitar, kept it for a few days, and brought it back and traded it back towards the other guitar he was undecided about.  It has been a few weeks, so we fill safe he is happy with his other guitar.  In all fairness, we have marked this guitar $100 off original price because it has technically left the building for a few days.  With all of that said, it is near mint condition!   He never took the pickguard info stickers off nor did he remove the plastic off the pickup (see in pictures).This guitar will ship FREE to the lower 48 in the original hardshell case and the rest of the original case candy that comes with these guitars.  Take advantage of these savings on this super awesome and hard to get ELITE THINLINE TELE!  As always, feel free to call us at our Hattiesburg MS location with any questions or concerns.
