Up for sale, a 1980 Fender Telecaster Custom in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Boasting an ash body and a maple neck capped by a rosewood fingerboard, this guitar blends the twang and sparkle of a classic Tele single coil at the bridge with the warmth and clarity of a Seth Lover-designed Fender Wide Range humbucker at the neck. Utilizing CuNiFe magnets to deliver more shimmer and top end detail than most dual coil pickups, the Wide Range pairs very well with the bridge position single coil in terms of output, and the two pickups compliment each other nicely when both are engaged. This Telecaster Custom weighs 8lbs 15oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
