A rare '55 Telecaster with plenty of character to spare. Its years of play have given it a truly unique character and feel. The 69 year-old fretboard has aged beautifully in a manner a Custom Shop relic'er could only dream of. It's been fully refinished, with a replacement pickguard and bridge, and replacement pickups, knobs, screws, and tuners (original rusted tuners included in case). Additionally, it's benefited from a recent refret. It's a player grade piece of history ready to write its next chapter.

Includes original tweed hardshell case (one latch is broken).

*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.
