Here we have an absolutely stunning example of a U.S. Fender Telecaster in a gorgeous two-tone sunburst two-piece (book-matched alder?) body.It comes supplied in a vintage Tolex (?) hard case which looks identical to me to the very expensive and highly sought after Fender ones, but it lacks any badging to confirm whether or not it is a genuine collectable Fender hard case!Looking something like a cross between the very expensive old 'Closet Classic' and 'New Old Stock' Fender Custom Shop models, this beautiful guitar sounds and looks marvellously mellow - it is light years away from a Squier, in a different league from a Mexican Fender and very typical of a classic-sounding Telecaster from when this manufacturer was at the quality peak of its U.S. standard production output many decades ago!The neck is in excellent condition with minimal wear on it, the frets or the fretboard. It is supremely playable, although the strings have been on for many years, so I will include a free set of new Ernie Ball Slinkys.Please see condition description notes above and photos for more details.This guitar also has what I consider to be a very desirable serial number!I cannot rate this guitar highly enough - I have owned it a long time and this is a very reluctant sale! - and I'm sure you will not be disappointed if you buy it.Delivery by Parcelforce 48 - posted no later than next working day after PayPal payment received. 3rd Party Insurance up to the value of the purchase price will be included.UK bidders only please.Please see my other items.
