See above description, 
Up for sale is this 1977 Hohner(Made in Japan) TE Telecaster Deluxe.  Its weighs in at 8.2 lbs, 7.25 Maple Cap Radius Neck.  As Comfortable as any Tele anywhere. Very Little Fretwear for a 40 year old Instrument.  We had sold this previously, and when we performed the Pre-Shipping inspection.. We discovered the Rhythm Pickup was dead(this Happens). The buyer wanted in 100% original. So we cancelled the sale, replaced the Rhythm Pickup with a period Correct Japanese Humbucker(See Photos). We will include the Original pickup, if the new Buyer would care to rewind it.  Also, while we had it apart, we buffed it out(Top and Back, Pickguard) It came out nice and Shiny.  Looks great, plays Great all ready to go.  VG calls this Instrument $1,000.00, we're seeking $859.95 with a Road Runner HSC.  FREE FREIGHT.  There are a few dings and dents, as to be expected for a 40 year old Instrument. Thanks for looking.
Continued;  After the Buffing Process, there are some scratches remaining on the rear (Bass Side, Upper and Lower bought) Litght Scratches on Bass side upper, Mulitple..like a metal button...and also (3) scatches through the Paint to the primer coat, Bass Side Lower bought.    The photos did not pick those up, not the end of the world.  The edges in different spots have little chips/dings.. Once again.. as to be expected.  Overall a Great Player Instrument with a Vintage Vibe and Quality Workmanship/Fit and Finish.  The Replacement Humbucker reads 32.65K Ohms, with a 1958 .022mf Paper Wax Tone Cap in the Circut, and The Lead Pickup reads 8.95k Ohms with a 1950's .022mf Cermaic cap in the circut.  The reasoning is, the Lead Sound gets a Sharper Attack, Quick Release and longer Decay, with the Ceramic Disc Cap, and the Rhythm has a Deeper Tone and Slower Attack that makes for a wider response ,with lower register analog (Musical ) distortion.   Any questions, please ask 1st.  Take Charge of your Tone kinda stuff.  Very Hip, indeed.
