Description

What makes this guitar special? This is one of the most killer country guitars we’ve seen come through in a while. Outside of having great-sounding pickups highlighted by a bit of extra pop and twang in the bridge, this Tele comes loaded with a custom-fitted B-Bender and Hipshot combination which will be absolutely perfect for country players who need a quick tuning change or want to replicate the distinct swells of pedal steel. The finish and pickguard have aged ever so slightly to give it a subtle look of tenure, and with the signs of light to mild wear it shows here and there, confirms its place as a beloved member of someone’s roster for quite a time. Perfect for country solos or good ol’ cowboy chords, this custom-outfitted Tele will surely make a stage-worthy companion.

Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does possess various scratches, nicks, dings, and dents, but largely still remains clean and looks great. The finish on the fingerboard has chipped off in a decent amount of places but doesn’t seem to compromise playability. There are a few finish cracks on the back of the neck as well but are marginally noticeable when playing. The frets show only light to mild wear and still have a lot of playing time left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.

Body: Single cutaway body in Candy Apple Red. Deluxe-style modified plate bridge with individually adjustable saddles and modified low E and B string saddles for Hipshot drop tuning and B-Bender. Knurled chrome control knobs. 4-ply white pearloid pickguard.  
   
Neck: C shape maple neck and maple fingerboard with black dot inlays. Chrome sealed Fender tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut width.

Electronics: Standard Fender single-coils pickups. 1 x master volume, 1 x master tone. 3-way pickup selector.

Weight: 8 lbs 14.1 oz

Playability/Sound: The C shape neck is easy, comfortable, and familiar and will likely be the same to a wide variety of players. The pickups sound fantastic, especially in the bridge and have all the classic Tele twang you could hope for, especially with the addition of the B-Bender and Hipshot which will be perfect for country players.

Case: Includes original hardshell case.
