This 1955 Fender Telecaster retains all the tone you would expect from a great 1950s Telecaster.
The instrument features a one-piece swamp ash body finished in Blonde (refinish), faithfully matching the original color used during the period. The neck has also been refinished in nitrocellulose lacquer.
Aside from the body and neck refinish, the rest of the guitar remains 100% original: electronics, pickups, hardware, pickguard, and all components are authentic 1955 parts.
It sounds exactly the way a great 1950s Telecaster should sound.
The one-piece maple neck features the robust yet comfortable profile characteristic of the era, while the pickups deliver the compressed, articulate tone that made these early Telecasters legendary.
A guitar with nearly seven decades of history.
The guitar comes with a Fender Tweed reissue hardshell case.
