Up for grabs here at The Guitar Dude we have this clean and mean, Telecastin' Machine, that floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee. This semi-hollow, gunslinger special was crafted at Tokai-Gakki, Japan around 2003 and features a toneful and resonant, well crafted ash body married with a perfect and killer one piece maple neck. The reissues that are produced in Japan are some of the best re-iterations of classic Fender guitars ever to be produced. In many cases, the reissues manage to surpass the originals, in terms of many factors including wood quality, weight, attention to detail and overall craftsmanship with this particular case being no exception. ULTRA Lightweight at less than 6.5 lbs and lively, this Tele delivers top-shelf Thinline tonality and a comfortable playing ease that'll easily make her your main squeeze night after night. This piece speaks the language of Telecaster well, and does so with a fluency and toneful accuracy that will please. Authentically voiced, wide-range humbucking pickups, vintage-style hardware and top quality woods combine to culminate a playing experience that is sublime. This piece is in excellent, preowned condition with minimal play-wear, including a small finish crack in the neck pocket and one small ding on the top that I can see. Here's a golden opportunity to get ahold of an exceptional piece that is in equally exceptional condition. Always in style, and truly cream of the crop, look no further for complete, Thinline satisfaction...only at The Guitar Dude.

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. 

- Intonation is spot-on.  

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

- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.  

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.

- 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.
