Here we have a gorgeous and classy blonde white guard Telecaster. Weight: 7.25lb

Color: Aged White Blonde

This is a fantastic guitar. It is resonant, light weight, with a great neck. It's not a ball bat like a '51 Nocaster, but it's not skinny either. I've had other Journeyman relic guitars that still had the sticky lacquer finish on the back of the neck, but this one is tastefully worn and smooth as silk and plays like butter.

The guitar has virtually no play time. No fret wear, or any other wear other than the factory Journeyman relic job with tasteful natural looking finish checking. So, I'm listing this in excellent condition.

Check out the blonde case to go with the blonde guitar. I've never seen that before, so cool!

Note a small tear in the tolex on the case. It has been repaired, but if that bothers you, I have other custom shop cases. I can swap it.

This includes the shop traveler, COA, strap, and all the case candy it came with.
