The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   Those who prize older instruments with the battered look of years on the road and the scars of countless gigs can still have that authentically aged vibe without spending decades on the road themselves. The irresistibly cool look of finish worn through to the wood, rusted hardware, a bruised neck and yellowing plastic parts are yours right away with this Road Worn Tele. The Road Worn ’50s Telecaster sounds, looks and feels like it’s been there and back, has more than a few miles on it, and then some. With authentic 1950s styling aged to impart a lifetime of wear and tear that has somehow made it get even better, it’s a must-have for the guitar player who appreciates broken-in look and vibe. The 21 narrow jumbo frets on this Road Worn '50s Tele are taller and slightly narrower than their medium jumbo cousins, making them especially effective for bending notes. Fretboard radius is an important spec that describes the amount of curvature across the width of the fretboard. This guitar has a Maple fretboard with a 7.25" radius, for a more pronounced "vintage-style" curvature typical of Fender guitars from the 1950s, ’60 and ’70s. It’s the way to go for those who grew up with vintage instruments or simply prefer the feel of greater fretboard curvature. The 2 Tex-Mex single-coil pickups on this guitar are over-wound for tight, clear bass, sparkling high end and maximum output ideal for everything from soaring clean tone to earthy Texas grit. Features: 1950s style with aged/worn body, neck, finish and hardware touches Maple neck with “C” profile Ash body 7.25” radius Maple fingerboard with 21 narrow jumbo frets Dual Tex-Mex single-coil pickups with three-way switching Vintage-style string-through-body Telecaster bridge with three chrome “barrel” saddles Worn nitrocellulose-lacquer finish in Vintage Blonde This guitar came from Fender as a slight flaw, which means slight cosmetic flaw or an overstock item. We have taken detailed photos, please take a moment to look through them before purchasing.  At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously!
