This guitar is wired with the original "Rhythm Circuit". The bridge pickup has all the output and bright tone you'd expect from a 1960 Tele. In the middle position, it's a standard great, warm sounding Tele neck pickup. In the third position, because of the Rhythm Circuit, the neck pickup produces about half the output and has much less highs. It's very warm and nice sounding, but the tonal disparity is there.

Body has scratches and dings indicative of a guitar it's age. It's listed as being in "Good" condition because it plays great, feels good, and works great electronically. But it definitely has some visual wear and tear. 

Frets have some visible wear on the first few. The frets towards the end of the board appear to have been dressed fairly flat at some point. Especially 18-21. We've elected to keep them on the guitar in order to keep it more original.

It appears to have started it's life in Olympic White, but at some point in time, it's been refinished. This guitar has been in my families possession since the 80's, and it's been this blue sparkle the whole time. Not sure who did it, or when it was refinished, but it was definitely a long time ago.

Case has all of the original latches and the black handle. Some tears and scratches in the leather on the outside, and a vintage sticker on the front, but overall a well functioning case for it's age.

I can't confirm whether or not the switch tip is original, because there's no way that I know of to date it, but it definitely matches the fit of the rest of the guitar. It's definitely been around the block.

Reverb has limit to how many pictures can be used in the listing, so if there's anything we didn't get, just message us and we can send images of what you're looking for.
