Description
What makes this guitar special: Complete with pronounced and straight alder grains under a glossy Cherry Sunburst finish, this Tele is not only a solid workhorse, but a has a pretty killer look to it as well. The noiseless pickups sound great and still sport all sorts of classic Tele twang without all the extra noise. The S-1 switch adds an additional dimension as well, allowing players to run the pickups in either series or parallel, expanding the tonal range beyond a standard electronic configuration. Plus, the body is super clean, the neck plays great nut to cutaway, and of course, all the extra appointments give it a bit of extra flash.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. It shows only various small dings, scuffs, and light scratches, but is otherwise in fantastic shape for a guitar that’s nearly 10 years old already. The frets are only very lightly worn and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Single cutaway contoured select alder body in Cherry Sunburst finish. Single-ply top binding. Deluxe plate bridge with individually adjustable saddles. 4-ply pearloid pickguard. Knurled chrome control knobs.
Neck: Modern C shape maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot inlays. 1 11/16” nut. 22 medium jumbo frets. 25.5” scale. Fender chrome sealed tuning machines.
Electronics: Noiseless single-coil Tele pickups in the neck and bridge. 1 x master volume control (w/ S-1 switch) and 1 x master tone control.
Weight: 8 lbs 0.7 oz
Playability/Sound: The modern C neck on this guitar is as comfortable as any and plays easily from the nut to the cutaway. The noiseless pickups sound great in all 3 positions starting with a warmer, fuller neck and finishing with crisp twang and jangle in the bridge, all with considerably less noise than the traditional single-coils.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
