Description
This Fender Telecaster was made in the USA in 1977 and is finished in Natural.
The transparent finish makes the heavily grained swamp ash body a major part of the guitar’s appearance. It is paired with a bolt-on maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and 21 frets.
Unlike the Telecaster Custom and Deluxe models of the period, the standard Telecaster retained its traditional four-bolt neck joint.
Two Telecaster single-coil pickups are controlled by a 3-way selector switch, master volume and master tone. The bridge pickup provides the familiar cutting Telecaster bite, while the neck pickup offers a warmer and rounder alternative. The middle position combines the two.
This guitar has lived a life and shows it. There are dings, marks and general play wear across the body, together with visible wear to the neck. It is not a modern Custom Shop interpretation of an old guitar. Every mark has arrived naturally through age and use.
The action is comfortable, and the guitar has the lively, direct response that makes a good Telecaster difficult to put down.
It weighs 3.9 kg and is supplied with a non-original hardshell case.
Please examine the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
