This mid 50's Tele has some of the features associated with Blackguard era Fenders, including the early 50's style round string tree and flat pole bridge pickup. It has its other foot in the late 50's though, with the 'top hat' switch cover, white single ply pickguard, and light blonde finish (though it is a refin). It has been refretted, and has its bridge cover included in the original tweed hard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
