1951 Fender Telecaster
Used – Excellent
Originally $41,750, now $35,550 ($6,200 price drop)

This 1953 Telecaster is a RARE find. It is 100% vintage including all the frets, pickups and internal electronics.

My father in law received this on trade for piano lessons in the 50s and has had ever since. He wasn't a professional musician, he was an engineer who occasionally played it at home.

Guitar was recently appraised at $60,000 (appraisal attached).

Weight - 8lbs 3 ounces
Neck Width - 1 39/64"
Neck Depth
1st Fret - 1 -61/64"
12th Fret - 1 - 5/128th
