Description

An exceptional Telecaster with a very unique look! Thanks to evidence of some previous stickers, it looks like it belongs on a stage and plays like its ready to go out on tour. It has a perfectly worn in neck, having had a skillful re-fret and the finish has worn down to the wood. The bridge has been replaced with a new plate and brass barrels which is a welcome upgrade from the stock threaded barrel saddles. It has new pots but is housing its original capacitor, switch, and pickups - the neck pickup coil having been repaired. It also has a replaced set of period correct tuners with the original ones in the case. It would be difficult to find a better early CBS Tele with this much vibe in looks and sound.

Includes its original hard shell 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.
