1976 Fender Telecaster Natural

Body: Ash body with Natural/stripped finish.

Neck: Maple neck, 7.25” radius, 25.5” scale length, 1.625” nut width, 21 frets, Black-dot inlays.

Pickups/Hardware: Single Seymour Duncan “Hot Rails” pickup in the bridge, non original Gotoh tuning keys, 3 brass saddle bridge, volume and tone knobs with 3-way switch (not connected), synthetic nut.

Modifications: This guitar has had the original finish removed and is just a natural wood finish. The original tuners have been replaced with Gotoh tuners. The guitar just has a single Seymour Duncan “Hot Rails” pickup with no neck pickup. This guitar at one time had a Bigsby installed but it has since been removed. The bridge saddles are also not original.

Cosmetics: This guitar is in fair condition overall for its age. It has heavy playwear and surface scratches on the top and back of the body. There are holes in the top from where a Bigsby once was. The back of the neck is in fair condition, and the frets show medium wear but still have life left. Overall, this guitar plays very well and sounds fantastic.

Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has inspected, setup, and restrung this instrument with a new set of strings. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functional, and the action has been set-up low and comfortable.

Weight: 9 lbs. 9 oz.

Case: This guitar ships without a case, professionally packaged, and fully insured.
