This is a beautiful, curated, customized American Elite Telecaster Thinline in a beautiful champagne color (it's kind of a metallic gold with a very slightly greenish tint to it). I can not begin to say how light this guitar is, or how amazing the tone is. The noiseless pickups allow you to play and record completely clean, or under high gain without hum, buzz or noise of any kind.
The guitar was customized by Eric Chaz of Eric's Guitars. Eric literally works on every rock star's guitars. He is one of the best in the world, if not THE best in the world. He added the Bigsby and all related parts to the guitar.
The only issue I/you may have with this guitar cosmetically are a couple of hairline scratches on the back--as shown in the photos. I must have received the guitar new with the scratches on it. The scratches can not be seen without closely scrutinizing the guitar. I can not see them without reading glasses on. Of course I can't see anything without glasses.
I was able to photograph the hairline scratches on the back of the guitar at 8x magnification. They actually look terrible blown up so large. But I took an unmagnified photo of the back of the guitar. So you can see that you can't see the scratches unless you're really trying.
I buy, curate and customize guitars as a passion. I generally play them for less than ten hours each. So, they generally have less play time on them than anything you would buy off of a showroom floor. I wipe every guitar off with a cloth diaper every time I handle it.
As you can see, this guitar comes with a pristine Fender flight case, and all the case candy that comes with a brand new Fender American Elite guitar.
I would be amenable to offers, as well as to possible trades for the right guitar or bass.
