A RARE Fender "American Vintage" Special 90's Double Bound Black Thinline Telecaster modded with Bigsby - Amazing! The black double bound is the rarest of this model's colors. There is fretboard wear which is shown in photos and the frets themselves have lots of life left in them. I am the second owner and the the original owner had the Bigsby installed. Given that a Bigsby is installed, this Thinline stays in tune. Includes a hard shell case
Condition - Very good condition, no issues at all.
