Rare! Fender Short Scale Telecaster Modern Player White Blonde Tele Clean! 30560
Description (More pics below)
This is a very clean 2014 Fender Modern Player Short Scale Telecaster in White Blonde finish. These were a short run and are hard to find. Beautiful: hard to see in photos but the transparent finish shows wood grain underneath.
Condition
Cosmetically this Tele is super clean. 10-years-vintage and really not a mark. I showed one tiny imperfection in pics but it might even be a factory paint error. Frets show little if any wear. All stock, no mods.
Features
— Downsized alder body, maple neck
— C-shape, 9.5” radius, 24” scale neck
— Single-coil bridge/Guild “Anti-Hum” neck humbucker
Sound & Playability
These Telecasters are really easy to handle. With the slightly smaller body, shorter neck, and weight of only 6lbs, 14oz it won’t break your back. The modern C neck is a bit chunky so it fills the hand nicely. The 9.5” radius and medium frets are well-known goldilocks specs. Vol/Tone & 3-way switch control the standard Tele bridge pickup and warm and gooey Guild neck humbucker. Vintage ashtray bridge and 3 brass barrel saddles and a cool swoop pickguard round out its looks. NO case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. 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!

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.
