2006 Closet classic '60s tele- built by master luthier Mr John English (RIP)

 

The late John English has long been revered as the greatest of all the Fender Master builders. His guitars have been played by some of the worlds greatest artists and they continue to inspire players lucky enough to pick one up.  This guitar was collector owned and lightly played a few times and put away dry! 

You are looking at a 2006 Fender Telecaster Custom Shop 60's Reissue Closet Classic in a Lake Placid Blue finish with a Madagascar Rosewood fretboard! 

In case you are not aware, John English was one of Fender's premier master-builders... When his name is on a guitar, it is clearly a special piece.... and with his 2007 passing away (God rest his soul) his Master-built guitars are in much more demand. John meticulously created this Tele with an awesome relic vibe. The Rosewood fretboard is a deep rich brown that almost looks Brazilian!

I played this guitar for about 1/2 hour when testing it out. It really is an awesome axe all the way. What a smart investment this will be for the fortunate buyer!

Here is the low-down on the features;

  • Alder body
  • Maple Oval C Shape Neck - Awesome Player!!!
  • Madagascar dark Rosewood Fretboard with 22 Medium Jumbo Frets
  • Dot Fret Inlays
  • Fender Hand-Wound American Tele Single Coil Pickups - Hand-wound by the master himself!!
  • Master Volume and Master Tone
  • 3-Ply Pealized Pick-Guard - Very cool aged vibe!
  • 3-Position Blade Switch with custom chrome over brass matching knob
  • Fender Vintage Tuning Machines
  • Nickel/Chrome aged Hardware
  • She Weighs 7.3 lbs. - Light as a feather!
  • Serial No. # JE100

She was born on June 30th, 2006 and has been sitting, rarely played, in it's case ever since! 

This is as good as it gets folks!

I'm not going into too much detail about nicks & dings... as the wear on this guitar was strategically placed by Fender's Master-builder himself.

There is no actual playwear to be found. Otherwise... the neck is straight with no cracks or repairs... the frets are perfect with their entire life ahead... and the sound is just as sweet as it gets!!

Also included is the original Fender brown hard shell case, which is in perfect condition (shown in pics) and also includes the Fender leather strap, factory cable, ash-tray bridge cover, original hardcase /keys , Certificate of Authenticity and hang tags!!

WHOEVER buys this masterbuilt Tele is going to be STOKED!!
