This is a rare bird indeed. This is a 2000 Fender Custom Shop Muddy Waters tribute telecaster. The fender Custom shop is renowned for making the finest examples of fender guitars, and this Muddy Waters tele is no exception. The relic job is accurate and impeccable, and has the character of Muddy's faithful candy apple red tele. The fender Custom shop goes out of their way to find the best materials and this is a super light, super well made guitar and the Birdseye maple neck is just insane. It's one the finest Teles I've ever played. Comes with a non original TKL tweet case. Unfortunately the previous owner misplaced the original case and paperwork. Regardless these guitars still sell for nearly 5K
