This 1952 Fender Telecaster features a neck and body shaped by the early '50s Fender factory craftsman Tadeo Gomez. The body is one piece of beautiful ash. The neck shape is, well... perfect. Tadeo's neck shapes just beg to be played and this guitar's neck couldn't feel better. The guitar has been refinish and despite that it's 6.4 pounds of tone. This is killer sounding Tele. We'll list the non-original features of the guitar in the next paragraph. This Tele comes with a cool: early '60s brown tolex case.
Neck Date: "TG 10 - 16 - 52." Body Date: "Tadeo 9 - 17 - 52." The neck and body have been refinshed using polyurethane. The guitar has an old refret and the nut's been replaced. The logo on the headstock is not original. The tuners are old Kluson copies. The pickguard is a reproduction of an original blackguard pickguard and includes the "Paint can ring" on the underside. The saddles are newer brass replacements. The pots are modern CTS and the switch has been replaced. The pickups have both been rewound professionally and they sound great.
