2018 Fender American Vintage 1964 Telecaster w/Bigsby Electric Guitar

Update: this got a bump in the shop and I have yet to take fresh overall photos, but here's the (small) ding as-of (10/4) a few days ago:

Now back to the original description...

How's about them apples? Them Tele-shaped apples? This is a classy guitar -- that's what I mean by that. It's late, I'm tired, and I will compare this to a bushel of perfectly-crisp honeycrisps.

This particular guitar was part of the Wildwood Guitars (not me, but that other Wildwood shop) "Thin Skin" series and it's a standard American Vintage '64 Tele but with a very hip Inca Silver paintjob (nitro finish, of course) and all the usual AV specs copycatting actual old Fenders. It's quality through and through.

I took this in trade from its owner and when he'd bought it, a Bigsby had been installed along with a cutaway vintage-style Fender bridge plate and brass, compensated saddles. These are all good things! The Bigsby is nice but definitely wants to be played-in a bit more, too -- so here's your change to strong-arm it, no?

While it's more-or-less basically a new guitar (it doesn't have much real wear and tear and the frets are fresh), it does have some small finish chipping along the edges of the sides -- all of which has been documented in the photos. I really like the look of the silver finish against the mint-green pickguard, too. It's subtle and --as stated -- classy.

Playability is spot-on after a good setup and mild adjustments here and there.
