This rare 38 year old telecaster is in drop dead, (dare I say, near mint condition). Beautiful waves of grain can be seen through the butterscotch lacquer. There are some blemishes that are shown in the pics which don’t take away from the overall beauty of this fine instrument. Fret wear is minimal and the neck is straight. This Telecaster is a collectors item and has a warm deep tone that can only come with age.
