Note: See short video in gallery showing how I pack a guitar. I set myself apart with my SETUPS and PACKING. I include setup sheet with each guitar.

Up for sale is a sweet 2003 Fender Classic Series 50s Telecaster in White Blonde finish. Excellent playing and cosmetic condition.

Features
-- Ash body w/ White Blonde finish
-- Tinted 7.25” radius maple neck (U neck thickness)
-- American vintage ashtray bridge w/ barrel saddles
-- Single-ply black pickguard

Condition
This 23-year-vintage Tele is in great shape. Only imperfections are some small marks (see pics) and some slight yellowing to the white finish. Wood grain shows through the transparent finish. Upgrades include an Electro Socket jack and some brass barrel saddles.

Neck
Neck thickness measures .89" at 1st fret and .95" at 12th fret. This is identical to a U-shape 69 Tele Thinline I have. (For reference Fender's replacement 50s Classic Series Tele neck calls for .86"/.91".) So basically Fender was making these with a medium U profile in early years of production. Not a "baseball bat" deep U, but some definite chunk there. I don't believe this was the case in later years for this model, so a newer 50s Tele may not be as chunky!

Sound & Playability
Guitar plays great. Vintage style frets in very good condition only minimal wear. Plays great all over the neck with no issues. Electronics are solid. Gives you the classic Tele tone w/ vintage style pickups. The solid ash body fills it out to 8lbs, 12oz. Comes with black gig bag. Thanks for looking!

Recent Review:
"Guitar was packed perfectly for shipping. Everything arrived exactly as described. A lot of care and attention was put into the setup (intonation is perfect). Seller was nice enough to include some extras. Excellent seller! Thank you so much!"

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!

Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

International
Please note, on Reverb, I ship to USA and Canada only. On eBay I ship worldwide with eBay International, which has the best pricing. cheers
