Fender Telecaster Partscaster 90s Gold Foil

Just finished building this one up and it came out great...but pretty similar to another tele build I did. So, in the quest for the new and different, I am going to test the waters on a sale.

It's a genuine Fender body from the mid 90s with the OEM 6-saddle bridge (but all new genuine Fender saddles). There are a few dents and dings in the yellow finish...which is more faded banana than butterscotch. The neck is a 21-fret Allparts TMO-FAT with a strat headstock and Kluson-style tuners. It's somehow on the glossier end of a satin finish...still nice and fast. Black dots. Slight gap due to the rounded end of the neck but not very visible.

New control section (CTS pots. Russian cap, switch, jack, wiring)...very quiet guitar. In the neck is a gold foil Teisco pickup from, I believe, the late 70s...sounds HUGE. I've got it screwed into the body. Bridge pickup is a Fender Custom Shop Nocaster '51. They work well together. Brand new solid black custom Pickguardian guard. Nickel Schaller Straplocks...not picutred but I'll put them on.

This is a fun and different guitar and plays great. Currently set up with 11s. It's a bit heavy... 9 lbs even on my bathroom scale...but very well balanced.

Here's how I'll sell it:

- full guitar, no case: $710
- loaded body: $545
