1983 Fender Telecaster Elite Electric Guitar



Overview: I won't lie -- I took this out of the case and was instantly desirous. I like Teles. I like odd Teles. The cream on cream finish is cool, too. It's been cared-for but has just enough UV-darkening of the finish and mild usewear to make it friendly. It's an oddball but it's also fun. The pickups are clean and clear-sounding (they're active) but they can also be pushed a bit with the preamp to give your amp a punch on the front-end. 


Repairs included: Max gave it a level/dress of the frets, new battery, and a setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

It comes with: It's got a good hard case.
