1993 Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster Butterscotch, Near-Mint w/ Tweed Case, COA
Our users rate Reverb
Up for sale, a 1993 Fender American Vintage ‘52 Telecaster in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case, CoA, and case candy. One of Fender’s most popular (and since discontinued) USA-made vintage reissue models, this Tele is exceedingly faithful to ‘52 “Blackguard” spec, boasting a gloss Butterscotch Blonde nitro lacquer finish atop an ash body, with vintage-spec touches including brass saddles, a five-screw pickguard, and flathead screws throughout.
The ash body and one-piece maple neck result in a lively, resonant acoustic platform with plenty of midrange potency, providing an ideal platform for the pickup pair. Featuring alnico magnets, black fiber bobbins, cloth-covered leads, and flush-mount bridge pickup pole pieces, these pickups can chime and twang with the best, delivering the percussive cut and bell-like clarity that put Fender on the map more than seven decades ago. Weighing 7lbs 11oz, this American Vintage ‘52 Telecaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
