This killer Telecaster crafted by Fender has all the ingredients to make your year just right! This TL52 features everything that its western counterparts have always had with just a pinch of Pacific magic. This guitar has a toneful and acoustically resonant premium ash body that's finished in a sweet translucent, buttery vintage natural finish, which allows every deep hued figure in the rich grain shine through. When it comes to playability nothing kicks harder than a maple necked Tele and this piece bares all the trademark tones and benchmarks of superior craftsmanship and quality. It even has some cool flames ont he neck that really make in pop. The neck is a beast with enough girth to flatten a sidewinder and its construction is from a straight grained, fine piece of hard rock maple. The fretboard is topped with 21 vintage style frets that have been polished and feel comfortable and inviting. They show zero wear and have a full life in them. The hardware keeps with the traditional and vintage vibe, making this Tele a visual and sonic crowd pleaser. The truly magical sound is powered by American made Texas Special pickups, the best Fender has made in my opinion. They are extremely warm to smoking hot, articulate, have plenty of snap and sound fantastic. Other features include one volume, one tone and a three-way selector switch and vintage headstock logo. The instrument is in perfect working order and phenomenal cosmetic condition with little play-wear. There are a few dings on the back but I couldn't find more than that. (see pics) This baby has all the sonic MOJO and looks as sweet as honey. Don't snooze on this bad ass blonde girl that has a red-hot twang! She is sure to put a fire in your boots and has that soulful, deep tone that is sure to please any Fender enthusiast...

This guitar has been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, It features low action with no buzzing or dead spots, perfect intonation, a brand-new set of American-made strings, and a straight neck with a fully functional truss rod. If needed the frets have been leveled, dressed, crowned, and polished to a mirror shine. The fingerboard has been thoroughly cleaned (unfinished rosewood and ebony boards are treated with Fret Doctor, a premium all-natural oil). All electronics function flawlessly. The guitar has been deep-cleaned and detailed and arrives stage- or studio-ready.

We stand behind every guitar we sell. “Good enough” is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.  

Neck & Setup - (unless otherwise noted)

- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss-rod issues.

- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.

Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy 

We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:  

- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.  

- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.  

- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.  

We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.  

Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.  

We are a small business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.  

Payment, Shipping & International Duties  

- All items can be shipped internationally. Buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.  

- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.  

- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
