Hohner Telecaster Natural Butterscotch Prince Prinz Style Tele Heavyweight Tone Beast

I bought this before Prince died. This is a real deal Hohner Telecaster that has aged well. Not one of the numerous fakes that have been made after he died.   

  Excellent condition.  New Fender case included.  Serial Number C211438 

Close to mint condition with the exception of several barely visible hairline scratches on the back that don't even go through the finish.  One minor check at the neck pocket shown in second to last picture.  There appears to be a blemish in the wood that was there before the factory finish was applied, this is shown in the third from last picture.

Guitar weighs 9 pounds and is a tone beast

All original

Body and neck: 3 piece body from California Maple with flamed maple top and back, central join binding (mahogany) and beautiful imitation tortoise shell body binding.

   
Neck: Bolt Canadian hard rock maple with 21 silver/nickel frets.  Plenty of life in the frets and they feel substantial so as to allow for easy bending, pull-offs, and hammer-ons

 
Features: Chrome hardware, graphite nut, standard ST-bridge, deluxe machine heads.

   
Pickups and wiring: Two single coils HP GS-1 with raised pillars and passive wiring. 3 way switch; volume/tone knobs.

   
Sound: The guitar has bright top, good sustain and sounds "bone-dry" with good attack.

All pictures were taken 16 November 2017.  The guitar was then promptly put in the Fender case, securely packaged, and double boxed, ready to ship to you insured.
