Fender 2012 Classic Series 72 Telecaster Deluxe Tele Wide Range Humbuckers 89854
Description (more pics below)
This is a 2012 Fender Classic Series 72 Telecaster Deluxe in Sunburst, made in Mexico. Really nice guitar. Features:
— Alder body & all maple C-shape neck
— Dual wide-range humbuckers
— Vintage appointments: 70s headstock, 3-bolt neck, bullet truss rod
The wide range humbuckers in these really lay on the warm chunky tones. The 21 medium-jumbo frets are in excellent condition, and it plays great all over the neck. Cosmetically, the guitar has only some minor marks (see pics). Weight is 8 pounds, 2 ounces. NO case. Previous owner added a Gibson-style “poker chip” around the pickup switch. I can remove it, if buyer requests. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks for looking.
About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
Manufacturer Info

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
