This is a Fender USA Vintage Series '52 Telecaster, manufactured in 1990.

The Fender Vintage Series was produced with the concept of faithfully reproducing the specifications of each era. This Telecaster recreates the 1952 model, featuring an ash body, a one-piece maple neck, and a black pickguard. From the ash body and original pickups to the flathead screws and vintage-style wiring (rear/front/front preset tone), it faithfully inherits the vintage specifications down to the finest details.

With the level of authenticity only Fender can deliver, it truly captures the sound of the legendary instruments of yesteryear. This is a highly recommended guitar for guitarists seeking that vintage sound.

The tone pot has been replaced, and there are signs of wear (color fading, weather cracks around the body, scuffs, playing scratches, picking marks, and cosmetic damage such as tarnish, pitting, and rust on metal parts and screws).

It was set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, and string action adjustment). The originally narrow fret tops have been filed down to a lower height but remain at a level that poses no problem for playing. The truss rod can be adjusted in both directions and has been tested to operate within a range of }60‹.
