1983 Fender Elite Gold Telecaster

Transparent Emerald Green Finish

With 80s Fender Hard Case

The Fender Elite Gold Series was Fender's top-of-the-line production model from 1983-1984 and represented one of the most innovative periods in Fender history. Produced for only a short time during the Dan Smith era, Elite models featured advanced electronics, proprietary pickups, premium hardware, and exceptional build quality. Today they remain among the most collectible Fender models of the early 1980s.

Offered here is a beautiful 1983 Fender Elite Gold Telecaster finished in a stunning transparent emerald green with original gold hardware. The ash grain shows beautifully through the finish and gives the guitar a striking appearance.

This guitar appears to be all original and has been well cared for throughout its life. It shows honest playwear from years of use but remains in very good overall condition. A recent professional refret and fingerboard cleanup has made this an exceptional player with low action and excellent playability over the entire fingerboard.

The neck and fingerboard show cosmetic wear consistent with age as pictured, but all feels nice and smooth while playing. The truss rod operates properly, all electronics function as intended, and there are no cracks, breaks, or structural repairs.

The included 80s Fender hard case shows wear from age and use, and two latches are broken, but it remains functional for storage and careful transportation.
