Fender American Original 50s Telecaster Pre Owned
Guitar description
The Fender American Original 50s Telecaster is a superb take on the vintage 50s guitar. Brought in a few years ago to replace the old AVRI series guitars, these have the benefit of a more playable 9.5 radius, larger frets and more authentic neck profiles. They take all the very best of the vintage spec and make them super playable with these additions. This one remains in amazing condition, barely played. This example is extremely playable and sounds fantastic, a lovely thin nitro finish that will age very gracefully. As good as it gets from Fender before you start hitting the custom shop prices. Today in the UK new examples of these are on sale for £1700.
