Fender Limited Edition '72 Telecaster Custom with Maple Fretboard 2018 - Orange Sparkle 24518
Description (More pics below)
This is a 2018 Fender 72 Telecaster Custom in Orange Sparkle (aka, Tangerine Flake). Fender only made a small one-year limited run of these. Weight is 8 pounds 0 ounces
Condition
Excellent condition. No dings, dents or scratches. No pickguard scuffing. Only wear is some very minimal fret wear and a little chip out of the nut (you can see it in the pic of headstock). All electronics work perfect. No issues.
Playability
Plays great all over the neck. Nice feeling C shape, 7.25" radius neck with vintage size frets. The wide range neck pickup is thick and warm sounding, while the bridge pickup provides the standard Tele vibe everyone loves. Lots of vintage touches like the F tuners, skirted amp knobs and ashtray bridge. The color is something else and really stands out. Cherry on top is my detailed setup and bulletproof packing. NO case. Thanks!
Recent Review:
"Guitar was packed perfectly for shipping. Everything arrived exactly as described. A lot of care and attention was put into the setup (intonation is perfect). Seller was nice enough to include some extras. Excellent seller! Thank you so much!"

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!
