Used and Vintage Electric Guitars

Do you want a vintage-styled Fender Telecaster with modern upgrades? Then check out this Fender American Original 60's Telecaster! The model itself is one of the most iconic guitars ever created, because the Tele is perfectly suited for nearly any genre of music. In 1960, Fender started to offer rosewood as the standard fingerboard wood and also launched the Telecaster Custom, an elegant model with a double-bound body and 3-ply pickguard.  It's been a favorite of guitar players ever since - and this one here shows why.

The American Original ‘60s Telecaster features a double-bound body just like the original  Telecaster Custom. It has a comfy 60's style "C" neck, and the modern tweak is a 9.5" radius with slightly larger frets.  With its Pure Vintage '64 Gray-Bottom single-coil Tele pickups you get vintage-style Tele sounds, giving you full warmness in the neck position, to the spanky twangy tones Teles are known for in the bridge position. If you want the best of a vintage and modern tele then check out the this one!

This guitar is in very good condition and comes with a case. The body is clean except for a few nicks, mainly on the back around the neckplate.  It's a thin nitro lacquer finish so this is bound to happen.  The guitar has been vetted and setup to play perfectly.  It's quite the score!
