2006 Fender Korea Koa-Top Telecaster Electric Guitar


Overview: This spiffy-looking Tele is Korean-made and bears an '06 serial number. It has a flamed-koa-veneered top over a bass wood body (I believe), sits right around 8 lbs. and sounds and plays terrific. It has an intensely-birdseye-figured maple neck with a retro-feeling profile and so, as far as eye candy, this fella has it. 


Repairs included: The owner brought it in with a wonk wiring harness so I rewired it as-standard but with fresh pots, a proper Switchcraft jack, and Orange Drop cap and treble-bleed circuit, as I recall. It also got a level/dress of the frets and setup work. It's playing spot-on and is ready to go.
