A vintage worn look and modern specs? Yes, this Telecaster is exactly that!

Born in Corona, California in 2005, this guitar has been upgraded with a 2010 Fender American Deluxe series neck, that comes with very convenient 9.5-14 inch compound fretboard radius, dark pearl dot markers and a cool chrome logo. We oversprayed it with Aztec Gold nitro finish for increased dramatic effect and gave it a worn look of a thousand world tours.

C-shape maple neck has got the back finish partially removed for a velvety non-sticky feel. The nut has been upgraded with a TUSQ frictionless one to enhance tuning stability and the medium jumbo frets have been dressed and recrowned and play exceptionally well now. 

The body made from resonant alder, retains it's original HSS internal cavities, that have been shielded and grounded from the factory. Aztec Gold nitro has all the checking and patina, providing dramatic contrast with the original Candy Apple metallic finish. Faded chrome hardware adds to the vintage feel.

Original Fender USA AlNiCo V single-coils sounds lush, providing plenty of balance and character. These react really well with a tube amp and your picking hand - you dig in a bit more - and the Tele responds in a very expressive way. Original wiring includes a No-Load tone pot, which is out of the circuit when at 10, allowing to send all the pickup tone directly to output.

Modern bridge design allows for solid sustain thanks to the thick baseplate and hi-mass steel saddles as well as solves all the intonation issues a traditional 3 saddle "ashtray" Tele bridge usually comes with.

This instrument received a full professional setup with deep body clean, neck deep clean and full electronics check. Restringed with D'addario 10-46 nickel-plated steel strings.

Please note that although we put our heart and soul and also all our knowledge into every single guitar we sell, a setup is a personal preference. However, we try to get the best playability out of every guitar and set them up so you can play both rhythm and lead. We also pull them all apart to clean and check every single component and replace all unreliable parts with new ones, from dodgy pots to the whole wiring, tuners, string trees, nuts and etc. All the work done is described in detail in the listing.

We make sure that every guitar we sell is problem free and take full responsibility for the accuracy of our listing descriptions. All photographs are done by a professional photographer and processed on a calibrated monitor. Some colours might look slightly different on your monitor, but we will always put the official Fender colour name in the listing description, so please study pictures of other guitars with the same colour if you are unsure. We focus on finding great quality guitars and making them reliable and inspiring to play.

This guitar will be shipped around UK with Parcelforce and UPS couriers, safely packed into a sturdy guitar cardboard box. 24h courier service provided to UK customers. We also ship to USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and many other places, but at the moment we don't ship to EU or Northern Ireland, but please drop us a message to discuss this.
