Up for sale, a 2011 Nash T-68 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and serialized hangtag. A very rare Nash model, this Tele is a premium USA-made take on the model made famous by George Harrison in the waning days of the Beatles, boasting all-rosewood construction, a pair of Lollar pickups, and a nitro lacquer finish with Nash’s Light aging.

Weighing 10lbs 2oz, the rosewood body/neck produces a natural acoustic tone that is lively, detailed, and warm, channeled faithfully through the Lollar single coil pickups. The Lollar Vintage T at the neck is an ideal balance of warmth and clarity, while the Special T at the bridge offers plenty of gutsy twang and focused midrange with a small bump in compression and a smooth top end. This T-68 Rosewood Tele has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
