Fender Road Worn '50s Telecaster 2018 - Blackguard Purple Metallic 41630
Description (More pics below)
What It Is
This is a 2018 Fender Road Worn 50s Telecaster in Purple Metallic nitro finish with black pickguard. Weight = 7lbs, 5oz.
Condition
It is in great condition with all the great factory relic wear and Tex-Mex pickups for pure tone. In particular on this guitar I like the finish checking you can see in a couple pictures I took. It's not easy to achieve realistic checking like this. Frets are in excellent condition.
Playability
Easy to handle with light weight and nicely balanced. Great feel all over the neck and your hand slides smoothly on the satin back neck. Great sounding Tele pickups and plenty of vintage vibe. The black 9-hole, 3-ply guard gives it a little extra. NO case. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. International contact for quote. Thanks for looking!
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.
