There is nothing more iconic than a Fender Telecaster, and this original vintage example is a great buy for anyone looking for an authentic vintage piece. Finished in its original natural, this example boasts a 1978 serial with 1979 pot codes (original wiring and parts). Body stamps are present within the routes. Original tuners are intact as is the bridge, and even the ashtray bridge cover, which we heard from the owner was in fact once used as an ashtray! Playability throughout is exceptional, with original bridge pickup delivering plenty of bite and twang.
Cosmetic condition is reasonable for its age with the expected dings, scratches, and patina. The inclusion of the original bridge cover really brings together a delightful presentation of this instrument. Hardware is fully functional, and includes an aftermarket flight hard case.
