Description
This is a 2002 Fender 69 Telecaster Thinline re-issue made in Mexico in Sunburst finish. The guitar is in excellent playing and cosmetic condition. The semi-hollow body with F-hole makes for a really light guitar that feels great in the hands. It has been upgraded with high quality Planet Waves locking tuners. As you'll see in online forums people rave about the necks on these Mexican made 69 Thinlines saying they are the best feeling Telecaster necks you can find. They are a chunky U-shape (7.25" radius), unlike the thin necks on the Japanese versions. The pickups on these sound great. Lot of Tele tones but powerful. The buyer of this guitar will be a happy camper. Cosmetic wear includes only a few minor marks (see pics). Weight is a trim 6 pounds, 2 ounce. I've sold these before and they go fast, so grab it before someone else does! I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) No case. Thanks for looking.

Guitar Setup
My setup on guitars 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. I spray out any pots that are noisy. I 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. I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. If you're looking for the perfect setup on a used guitar, please expect to take it to a trained luthier who is familiar with your individual playing style and preferences. ps: basses get the same setup minus the new strings. 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 10 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 "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
