Fender 2008 Road Worn '50s Telecaster (1st Year!) Blonde TKL Tweed Case 36133

Description (More pics below)
Up for sale is a 2008 (first production year) Fender Road Worn '50s Telecaster in blonde, with a maple fingerboard. Take a look at this road worn and then compare to others out there. The Fender shop started to water down their relic work later in the run. Comes with really nice TKL tweed case, made in Canada.
 

Condition
It has a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish that’s been aged at the factory for that classic “played-in” look. Great condition. Frets are clean. No electronics issues. Plays great all over the neck.

Sound/Playability
The Tex-Mex pickups give it a bright, punchy tone, and the narrow jumbo frets make it easy to play. Well known C-shape neck with a satin sanded back so your hand slides easy. Vintage specs with the 7.25" radius and "Pat. Pend" ashtray bridge with 3 barrel saddles. Personally I love the way Fender was making these 2008-2010. Beautiful bumps, dings, edge wear, etc. All hardware has a patina of wear. Fretboard has aged look with finish missing.

If you like your guitars to feel and play like a well-worn pair of blue jeans this might be for you. Easy to handle at only 7 pounds, 4 ounces. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. 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. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

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!
