1992 Fender USA '52 Reissue Telecaster Electric Guitar

Overview: If you're into classic Tele, here it is. Slotted screws? Check. Bakelite pickguard? Check. Traditional-sounding pickups? Check. Pure style? Yeah, yeah. It's got all the stuff that we Tele-lovers are after and nothing more. It even has the mildly-annoying, butt-adjusted truss rod access!

The frets are typically-sized for the time in question and the butterscotch finish, with just the tiniest bit of wear here and there, looks perfect. It hasn't been played much but it's been played-in enough that it feels like an old hand and it has small cigarette burn marks both at the side and top of the headstock. The guitar itself doesn't smell of smoke at all, though, which makes them curious.

Repairs included: I cleaned it up, sprayed-out the pots, and set it up. During setup on these 3-saddle bridges I lightly bend the adjustment screws to allow for good intonation. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: There are two tiny burn marks at the headstock (pictured). There's a little light wear to the plating on all the hardware (just oxygen exposure).  There's some pickwear/playwear in evidence at the pickguard. There may be tiny scratches here and there in the body but I'm not finding them. It's completely original as far as I can tell.

It comes with: It has its original hard case and case-candy goodies.
