Description
This is a true closet classic!
Virtually (almost) unplayed 2005 Fender Classic series '72 Telecaster Deluxe Reissue in Black with maple fretboard.
I bought it from a guy who played it once and put it under the bed. I removed the plastic from the pickguard when I got it (the few ghost scratches on the pickguard are from me, I play all my guitars:-). I put new strings on it (9-46), set up and intonated it and it plays and sounds perfectly!
If you are checking this out you must be familiar with the cult following these gutars have....a sound all their own! Very cool!
There is only a couple (2) pentip size touches on the back side of the lower bout for anyone who really cares but they were impossible tho' I tried to get them on camera. Those and some light pickguard scratches are the only wear on this guitar at all! BTW frets are perfect!
I am including a Fender hard shell case. Compare to new for 899.99 from any online retailer and they only give you a gig bag! No reserve on this, so bid early and often to not miss this opportunity!
Check my feedback and bid with confidence, thanks!
