Description
This 1956 Fender Telecaster in Blonde is a beautifully preserved early example that’s been thoughtfully brought up to modern playing standards. The body has been refinished and the bridge plate replaced, with a refret and new nut that give it a fresh, confident feel under the fingers. Crucially, the neck finish and logo remain original, and the neck itself shows just the right amount of vintage wear for a comfortable, broken-in feel. Overall condition is very clean, with only a few dings in the newer body finish. Plugged in, it delivers the classic mid-’50s Tele recipe—clear, punchy, and dynamic—with the kind of response that makes it a joy for both rhythm and lead work.
