1996 Fender Telecaster – Excellent Condition – Upgraded with Seymour Duncan La Brea Pickups

Up for sale is a beautiful 1996 Fender Telecaster that has been meticulously cared for and remains in exceptional condition. This guitar shows very little wear for its age and plays every bit as good as it looks.

Over the years, I've made several tasteful upgrades to enhance both the tone and playability while preserving the classic Telecaster character:

• Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley La Brea pickup set
• Music City Bridge compensated brass bridge assembly
• Tortoise shell pickguard (original pickguard included)

The result is everything you want from a great Telecaster—clear, articulate highs, rich midrange punch, and that unmistakable Tele twang, with improved intonation and sustain from the brass bridge.

The guitar has been professionally set up with low, comfortable action measuring 5/64" on the bass side and 4/64" on the treble side. It plays effortlessly across the neck with no buzzing or dead spots.

All original parts that were removed during the upgrades will be included with the sale, allowing the next owner to return the guitar to stock configuration if desired.

The sale includes a gig bag for protection and transport.

I would prefer local pickup, but I am willing to ship. Shipping costs will be based on the buyer's location and will be calculated accordingly.

If you're looking for a mature, well-maintained Telecaster with premium upgrades and outstanding playability, this guitar is ready for its next home.
