Not a \"baseball bat\" deep U, but some definite chunk there. I don't believe this was the case in later years for this model, so a newer 50s Tele may not be as chunky!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound \u0026amp; Playability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuitar plays great. Vintage style frets in very good condition only minimal wear. Plays great all over the neck with no issues. Electronics are solid. Gives you the classic Tele tone w\/ vintage style pickups.

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.

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.

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.
