Cosmetic Inspection
This has recently undergone a service and set up. As pictured, there are a few marks from playing, making this a beautiful naturally road-worn guitar.
Originality
In our opinion, this has had the following done to it. The nut has been upgraded to a brass nut – making the tone one to die for – the pots and switch have been changed, the scratch plate is a reissue – but looks original – and the neck pickup has been, in our opinion, upgraded. There has been a previous route to the body, as pictured below, where another pickup was added in. This has been removed and is now hidden underneath the scratchplate. This has no effect on the sound. This guitar is not one for the collector but one for the professional player. We can almost guarantee that you won’t find a better sounding and playing telecaster out there!
This guitar comes with the original hang tags and the original bridge cover.
Summary
Overall, this is a very rare and collectable guitar. Not only is this sure to increase in value year on year, but also it can be an enjoyed investment.
Come along and have a play!
