Up for sale, a 1989 Fender Telecaster ‘72 vintage reissue model TL72-55 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The guitar features an uncommon rosewood fretboard (for the TL72 model), with a basswood body that offers a smooth, balanced natural acoustic quality. The pair of TL-Vintage single coil pickups deliver quintessential Tele tonalities: the flat-pole bridge pickup offers twang and percussive cut, while the neck pickup is round and bell-like. This Telecaster weighs 7lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
