1995. Corona, California. A Fender American Standard Telecaster came off the line built the modernized way this series always was: alder body, maple neck, maple board, string-through bridge, and a TBX tone circuit that actually does something useful instead of just sitting there as a second knob.

No custom shop relic finish, no boutique pricing, no Instagram filter. Just a working musician's Tele that's spent thirty-one years doing what Teles are built to do: get played.

At some point, someone decided chrome wasn't cutting it and dropped gold dome knobs onto this guitar. Not factory standard, not discreet, not something you'd typically see on an American Standard's usual hardware spread. If that's not your style, they swap out in minutes. If it works for you, you're welcome.

The fretboard shows some age-related finish lifting along the edges. It's purely cosmetic — the wear stays confined to the board's edges and doesn't intrude into the playing experience. The part your fingers actually touch when you're bending a string at 1 am plays exactly like it should.

This is a genuine USA-built Telecaster at a price that won't require a second mortgage, showing its age plainly instead of dressing it up with a glossy veneer. It's not headed for a display case. It's headed for a gig bag, built to keep going well past its next owner.

This is a USED Instrument in GOOD condition.
