Up for sale, a 2018 Fender American Original ‘50s Telecaster in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original tweed hardshell case, CoA, all hangtags and case candy. A short-lived and now discontinued spin on the early '50s "Blackguard" Telecaster platform, this Fender is stunningly well-executed, with a Butterscotch Blonde nitro lacquer finish, Pure Vintage '52 pickups and modern three-way switching, a vintage-correct U-shaped neck profile carve and a modern 9 1/2" fretboard radius.
Tonewoods include an ash body and one-piece maple neck, this Tele cuts and twangs with the best, delivering plenty of sparkling sonic authority in every pickup position. The Pure Vintage ‘52 single coils feature Alnico 3 magnet construction, black fiber bobbins, and flush-mounted pole pieces: from chewy bridge position bite to bell-like neck pickup chime, this Tele covers all the essential tonal bases, with great clarity, midrange cut, and focused treble articulation. Weighing 8lbs 3oz, this American Original ‘50s Tele has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Butterscotch Blonde nitro lacquer finish highlights the grain in the ash body, and this is a very clean example, with just a couple faint marks on the body as a whole. The smooth nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original G&G Deluxe tweed hardshell case is included, along with the CoA, all hangtags and case candy.
