IMPORTANT: This item will only be shipped to the domestic USA, Lower 48 States ONLY. No International shipments.Unfortunately I can not keep this amazing hand built vintage style Telecaster built by Ron Kirn Custom Guitars. If you are not familiar with Ron Kirn, well then do yourself a favor and check out his site and great reviews and praise especially on TDPRI.This is above Custom Shop level instrument it's Ron's "Old Blackie Model" with addtional options for a custom build spec (cost approx $2500).This guitar came out of collection of several that were built for owner by Ron in 2012. It's been barley touched and grade this as MINT condition. It has outstanding sustain, resonance, unplugged. The body is light swamp ash, Ron uses only the best wood. Refer to his Old Blackie specs on his site. Guitar weighs in at exactly 7.0 lbs on my digital scale.The pickups are hand wound and matched by Ron, the neck Humbucker I'd say is more akin to a Lollar Low Wind, but has a Strat tone when pushed super nice and not a typical overpowering Neck PAF. The 4 way switch makes this a versatile Tele no doubt. Also apologize I forgot to reinstall the PU selector knob after wiping the guitar down but see the last photo with it reinstalled.Specs:Body: Swamp Ash Body
