Hey Gang, This Tele took a long time to get! Plenty of patience. Plenty of money. Plenty of guitars. From Bloomfield's hands in San Diego, into the new owner's hands in San Diego many years ago to my hands. The story is in the description. You all have my phone number. Have fun, and do not take life too seriously... BH If you need any further info on the Mike Bloomfield 1968 Fender Telecaster, feel free to contact us. We usually get back the same day. Thanks, BH In our 30+ years of business, Customer Service has always been of the utmost importance to us. Every call, email and inquiry will be answered. We are happy to offer full descriptions of condition and sound of all of our instruments to the best of our expertise
