Up for sale, a 2019 Fender Traditional ‘50s Telecaster in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Telecaster replicates a ‘52-spec “Blackguard” model, with vintage-accurate touches including brass saddles, a five-screw one-ply black pickguard, a full U-shaped profile carve, and Vintage-Style single coil pickups.

The Vintage-Style single coil pickup pair offers ample twang at the bridge and a rounder, bell-like tone at the neck, with a clear percussive cut in every position on the three-way toggle. Lightweight at 7lbs 1oz, this Traditional ‘50s Telecaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Fender Japan denotes the finish as Vintage Natural, yet it reads as a pale Butterscotch Blonde, and cosmetic wear includes some pick scuffing on top, a few small finish chips along the body perimeter, and some minor dings on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss.

The original Fender gigbag is included.
