Smith Telecaster in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original G\u0026amp;G hardshell case and hangtags. Through his six hit-making years with Hall and Oates, his decade-long run as Saturday Night Live bandleader, and his touring stints with Bob Dylan, Smith is widely hailed as a modern master of the Telecaster. In his honor, Fender created this Artist Series Tele, a special guitar that combines '40s-era Fender lap steel fretboard inlays with a '50s-era Telecaster feature set. This Tele boasts a U-shaped maple neck, lap steel \"oval and diamond\" fingerboard inlays, a custom cut-off vintage-style bridge plate, and body-mounted bridge pickup. Weighing 7lbs 14oz, this Tele has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Shape: '50s-style Chunky U, measuring .955” 1st fret, 1.015” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Fretboard: Vintage Fender lap steel-style inlays, 7 1\/4” vintage-spec radius\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Frets: Slender, light wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-7\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Nut: 1.650”\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Tuners: Kluson-style\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Serialization: SZ-prefix on headstock, “GE Smith” logo embossed on neck plate\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Wood: Ash\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Pickups: American Vintage single coils\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Harness: CTS 250k pots\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Controls: Volume, Tone, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Hardware: “Cut-off” bridge, brass saddles, flat-topped knurled knobs\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Plastics: One-ply pickguard, top hat switch tip\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe gloss Honey Blonde nitro lacquer finish highlights grain in the ash body.
