Tele-Style (1949-50 Prototype-III model) electric guitar by STRIKER Custom Guitar Studio located in Kyiv (Ukraine). We are inspired by the first models of Leo Fender 1949-1950 and many of our projects are dedicated to the Golden Era of the evolution of the guitar business..
The Aging finish, which reproduces thin scratches, paint peeling and rust as if it had been used for many years. There is a feeling of scratches and dents, but the playing condition is like the new perfectly adopted guitar. Loaded with Seymour Duncan Broadcaster Vintage pickups that deliver the legendary tone of orly Esquire models and sounds especially great with the pine body models. We found the STL-1B bridge pickup to be the most successful design for pine body guitars. (personal opinion confirmed by many tests) This pickups were created with idea to reproduce earliest sounds of the guitars builded Leo. Many of Prototypes and Black Guard series were made with pine.
 Installed frets are in new condition and have been leveled, crowned and polished with rounded edges to assure very smooth play. Tuned across the entire neck scale. Intonated and ready to gig. Enjoy!
