Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster
Guitar description
From 2001 and now over two decades old, this gorgeous 63 Tele finished in vintage blonde is a stunning example of the Custom Shop from the early 2000s era. This one remains in absolutely stunning condition for it's age and plays and sounds fantastic. It has a lovely slim C neck with a laminate rosewood board and vintage radius and frets, a very comfy combo. The playability and sound is lovely, in fact plugged in this really does sound lovely with warm vintage tones and an edgy rock twang. There is a JC stamp on the neck heel which is always nice to come across. Presented in it's original case with the certificate and some of the case candy.
