This will be a bittersweet sale for me!
I really enjoy this guitar, but I am selling to fund another purchase.
Changes/Upgrades:
-Hand Carved Bone Nut from Dang Decent Guitars here in Houston
-Frets have been leveled and polished
-Wiring completely new with brand new components (pots, switch, and output jack) (every thing is CTS, Pure Tone, Oak Grigsby, etc., quality stuff)
-Complete set-up (intonation, action adjustment, neck relief, the works!)
-Graph Tech Compensated String Saver Saddles (prevents broken strings and improves intonation)
-Switch was changed from 4-way to standard Tele 3-way configuration
-JBE Joe Barden Modern Danny Gatton pickups added.
Lots of clarity, plenty of output, but very natural and dynamic. Like a great set of single coils with a lot more “beef”.
I had planned to keep this guitar for a real long time… but plans have to change sometimes. I know I’m not going to get all the money I put into it back, so I won’t be pricing it outrageously… just fairly.
Do a little research on the Classic Player series. It was dreamt up by one of the Custom Shop Masterbuilders. It’s a Made in Mexico version of a guitar they used to do all the time in the Custom Shop.
This one dates to 2007.
Can you believe how good it looks?

From the Fender website:
The unconventional Telecaster fan will appreciate the unconventional style of the Classic Player Baja Telecaster. Designed by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Chris Fleming, it looks like a traditional Tele®, but boasts several mods that transform it into a full-voiced true Classic Player, such as Custom Shop-designed pickups, special tone circuitry and switching, and more.
