Up for sale, a 2020 Fender Hybrid ‘50s Telecaster in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. One of the finest Tele iterations ever produced by Fender Japan, and a model not otherwise available in the USA market, the Hybrid '50s Tele is simply stunning in its forward-thinking design and player-friendly features. The guitar features an ash body, '50s U-shaped neck profile carve, USA-made Fender Pure Vintage '58 Tele pickups, USA-made CTS pots, four-way series/parallel switching, brass saddles, a bone nut, taller fretwire, locking Kluson-style tuners, and a silky smooth satin neck profile finish.
The Pure Vintage '58 Fender pickups translate the guitar's ample acoustic properties into a vital palette of traditional Tele tones. With alnico V magnets, black fiber bobbins, a copper baseplate on the bridge pickup, and push-back cloth-covered leads, the pickups are extremely faithful to vintage spec. There's ample chewy twang and sparkle on tap in the bridge position, with a sweet, bell-like neck pickup and a very welcome 4th position on the blade switch, engaging both pickups in series for a particularly big and bold sound. This Tele weighs 7lbs 4oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Blonde finish highlights the grain of the ash body, and cosmetic wear is limited to two medium-sized chips on the treble side lower bout edge, as well as very faint buckle rash at the bass-side waist on the back and a scant few minor marks on the body as a whole. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile is immaculate.
