On the headstock, the original Gotoh Kluson-style tuning machines turn smoothly, and the era-correct block Telecaster Thinline logo is present as wellAll of the electronics work as they should, with the stock Fender Japan wiring harness including Master Volume and Tone controls and a three-way pickup selector switch governing the upgraded Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickup pair.

The deep brown transparent finish on the mahogany body is extremely well-kept, showing just a few light finish scratches and minor marks on the body as a whole, mostly relegated to the back. The neck profile is flawless.A black molded hardshell case is included with a Squier badge on the exterior.
