Guitar is Virtually Brand New (plastic is still on it) but, it was dropped by a customer in store and now has what I would call a “road worn” area on the bottom left of the body. This does not effect the playing at all (See picture 3)
For players who want the style and sound of Fender’s golden era, Fender created the Vintera ‘50s Telecaster.
Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade—including period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with re-voiced pickups—this guitar has all of the bite and twang that made the Telecaster a legend.
For authentic, vintage-style tone Fender recreated their favorite set of ‘50s Telecaster pickups. Twangy and articulate, they have the crisp, snarling sound that put Fender on the musical map.
The thick, fat-shouldered Early '50s U-shaped neck has a 7.25”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style Tele bridge with three brass barrel saddles gives this Telecaster it’s characteristic twang, while vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability.
Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, chrome hardware and four-bolt neck plate.
