This is the most beautiful guitar I've ever had, hence it has to go. I've been sitting on it for two years now since trading in a well worn mim tele and I keep chickening out before playing this one on stage and have put it up on a pedestal in my mind. I think I need to go back to a run of the mill tele that I can be a little more rough with and is replaceable. (There were only 500 made of each finish)

This guitar came with a few small dings that can be seen circled in yellow in the photos and some tarnish on the bridge saddles as well. Also the shop I got it from didn't have the original case but provided a new 2023 C&G case with it. Otherwise it plays and sounds amazing and it's shape and 6.15 lb weight feel great. Local pick up only in Baltimore MD area and am open to a reasonable trade.

Original Sweetwater description copied below:

Fender's American Standard Offset Telecaster is an ideal instrument for players who want traditional Fender twang but demand a body style that will set them apart onstage. The Offset Tele wonderfully blends elements of the legendary Telecaster and Jazzmaster solidbody electric guitars. A pair of Fender Custom Shop Tele pickups delivers big twang and punch. And the no-load tone pot is removed from the circuit when turned all the way up. The American Standard Offset Telecaster may be the ideal blend of two of Fender's most iconic designs.

The best of two worlds

This American Standard Offset Telecaster beautifully combines some of the most popular features found on Fender's Telecaster and Jazzmaster guitars. The larger Jazzmaster body boasts forearm and tummy contours that make the guitar rest comfortably against your body. The pickups and electronics package are right out of a Fender American Standard Telecaster. And the 25.5" scale length maple neck has Fender's popular Modern "C" profile and satin finish.

Unmistakable Fender twang

The electronics in the Offset Telecaster are firmly from the Telecaster camp. Onboard are a Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck single-coil and a Vintage-style bridge single-coil. These old-school designs are what injects the Offset Tele with all of its punch and cut. The guitar's tone control is Fender's no-load design, which takes the pot completely out of the signal when rolled full up for a pure, straight-to-the-amp tone. And the guitar's alder body and maple neck are one of the most popular wood combinations for these types of instruments.

Limited edition

The Fender American Standard Offset Telecaster was originally invented in Fender's highly regarded custom shop. Until now, owning one of that quality was a very expensive proposition. The American Standard version offers the same great performance, but it's offered at a much more accessible price point. But you'll have to call Sweetwater fast. Only a small number of these groundbreaking guitars are being manufactured. So if you want a guitar that offers classic tones with modern looks, grab your American Standard Offset Telecaster today.
