Hi, if you have been shopping for a Vintera 50's Nocaster Telecaster, please check out this one up for sale. It is basically in "like new" condition and plays and sounds wonderful. I did a couple of substantial upgrades on her too. I was not too happy that Fender started using Alder instead of the normal Ash bodies on this series of 50's Teles, so I replaced the poly MIM Alder body with a Fender USA American Original 50's nitro Ash body instead. Now she has the correct period look, and the beautiful grain of the Ash peeks through the nitro Butterscotch finish. She looks really nice now. Rather than the stock standard gig bag, I added a beautiful Fender, USA "Clapton" series G&G tweed hard case for a much nicer look and for the guitar's better protection as well. Both of these upgrades added quite a bit to my cost, and while not technically necessary, I believe added to the guitars overall appeal. The guitar weighs in at 8lbs-14 ounces on my scale. So, in conclusion, if you enjoy a real nice 50's style Tele with a comfortable big fat neck profile, this may be just the ticket. I am 68 years old and am slowly thinning out my collection. Please check out my past feedback for excellent references. Thanks for looking. PS... I apologize for the glare from my camera flash, in person the Tele is really much prettier than the pics allow for.
