Cosmetically this guitar is in player’s condition. A 23-year-vintage instrument it shows chips in the clear coat around the edges. (See pictures where I used guitar pick to point out chips.) Other basic scuffs and wear from years of honest use. Frets show some mild flattening and grooves but it still plays great. All stock, no mods.

Sound & Playability
This is a vintage Tele that’s been a player it’s whole life, so it has some battle scars, but overall from the front still looks really good. Fender USA quality only marked down because of cosmetic marks and fret wear. Plays great all over the neck. No issues or problems. If you like perfect frets there’s plenty of meat on the bone for a level and crown. American Tele pickups have all the tone they should. It also has a “no-load” tone pot, which when it’s turned full up passes signal straight to the pickups for a little boost. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. $85 FedEx Ground in USA. Int’l contact for quote. Thanks for looking!
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.
