Condition
Cosmetically it is in very nice condition. I’ve shown some very small edge marks (using guitar picks in photos). Couple small marks on back of neck. Overall still very clean 9/10 condition. Frets are in very good condition. All stock except for the Seymour Duncan rail pickup in the bridge.
Features
— Basswood body, all maple neck
— 7.25” vintage radius, C-shape neck w/ vintage frets
— Ashtray bridge, standard Vol/Tone, 3-way switch
Sound & Playability
The addition of the Duncan pickup really gives this 21-year-vintage Tele some power in the bridge position. Great contrast with the smooth stock Tele neck pickup. Neck is fun to play and has some vintage feel to it. Take a look at the beautiful marbling in the maple of the headstock! F neck plate and F tuners add to the vintage vibe. NO case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. FREE FedEx Ground in USA. Int’l contact for quote. 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!
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. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. 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.
