This is a custom Fender American Original '50s Telecaster consisting of a 2022 Eddie's Guitars Exclusive ‘Blackguard Blonde’ American Original 50's body, paired with a 2022 Fender American Original 50s Telecaster replacement maple neck.

This was a limited edition version of the American Original 50's tele made for retailer 'Eddie's Guitars' that came with a roasted maple neck. The neck was replaced with a regular maple AO 50's neck.

  • The body is a unique lighter "Blonde" color similar to a Vintage Blonde (same color as the 70th anniversary Broadcaster reissues), which Fender calls 'Blackguard Blonde'.
  • Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups, which sound outstanding.
  • Fully shielded pickup and control cavities with copper tape for better noise reduction.
  • The back of the neck has been sanded down to a smooth, non-sticky satin.
  • 1-ply solid Parchment beveled pickguard. I can include the black pickguard as well.
  • Professionally set up
  • Fender Pat No Bridge Plate non-serial bridge and Brass Saddles. This is the classic Vintage style Tele bridge. 
  • Fender G&G Deluxe Hard Case in black tolex with black leather ends/handle and orange plush interior (worth over $300 alone)

Condition wise, there's a tiny chip on the body edge below the control plate and one above the pickguard on the top near the strap button (see the last 2 photos), but other than that it's in really excellent condition.

Weight is around 8.5 lbs
