Description

This 1973 Fender Telecaster is a well-used example with a clear, cutting response and a strong midrange presence - equipped with a factory Bigsby. The ash body and maple neck contribute to a tight low end with a bright, articulate top, keeping note definition intact across the strings. It has the direct, immediate character associated with early-’70s Telecasters, with a dry attack and focused sustain. Maintenance over time includes a replacement tone pot and knob, along with a fret level. The frets are on the lower side but remain serviceable. Cosmetically, it remains in player-grade territory, with heavy finish checking and visible arm wear through the top. It shows consistent use throughout, giving it a broken-in feel while remaining structurally sound.

Includes 60s Fender hard shell case.
