Wow, what a guitar! This all original 1969 Telecaster just rocked up in beautiful condition for its age. There's signs of play wear and patina across the body and neck but the original Blonde finish is largely intact. Whilst this is a post-CBS era guitar, it's clear that Fender were still making instruments of high quality, without cutting corners before the early​/​mid 70s when some infamous risks began to be taken. The timeless combination of Alder body and comfortable medium 'C' Maple neck result in a perfectly balanced guitar in weight and playability, the original single coil pick ups have heaps of dynamic range, controlled by the original pots. It sounds sweet when you want it to but has plenty of bite when called for. Unfortunately it has been separated from its original case but a suitable replacement will be provided to keep it safe for the next 50 years! Our three year set up and servicing warranty is included in the price,
