Here's a 1976 Fender Telecaster in Blonde finish. This one is all original and in excellent shape, especially for being nearly 50 years old. It's a two-owner guitar that was played lightly early on, then spent the majority of the next 40-plus years tucked safely under a bed. It is incredibly well-preserved, showing with very light cosmetic wear and the original frets that show very little use. It plays and sounds great.

Not only does it come with the original hardshell case, but the original bridge cover and owner's manual are also included. Both very cool to have and pretty rare to still be with the guitar after all these years.

It has a solid ash body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard. The pots are the original CTS, dated to the 9th week of 1976 (codes 1377609). The 25.5" scale maple neck has 21 vintage frets on a 7.25" radius fingerboard, with a comfortable medium C profile. Hardware includes Fender “F” stamped tuners, bone nut, “Pat Pend” Tele bridge with three barrels, chrome flat-top knobs, and a 3-ply pickguard. Serial number: 706890.

If you are after a vintage Tele that is all-original, plays beautifully, and has been remarkably well preserved, this is the one.
