Fender Usa Telecaster 1975 Original Vintage Inc Case | Best Guitars

***1975 USA Fender Telecaster with Original 'Fender logo' 70's case - This is an original guitar, NOT a 'Relic' *** Made in the Fullerton Factory in the CBS era, this guitar has been played heavily over the last 36 years and has plenty of wear and battle scars!! I've had this guitar for about 5 years now and the previous owner was a session musician in California, who bought it from a serious player in Japan....so it has definitely seen some heavy action all over the world! Pickups sound terrific! with loads of bite & crunch...the guitar overdrives really well with no pickup 'microphonics', and all harware & electrics work as they should....nothing seized or broken, and no crackles or buzzing. The Translucent Blonde finish has been worn in several places and has lacquer checking all over.The neck & fingerboard are one piece of maple with 'skunk stripe' truss rod. No breaks or repairs.Frets are nicely worn but in great shape. Tuners look to be very old but may not be original as there are some small 'hidden' holes behind them that indicate that at some point they have been changed. Weighs 8.8lbs (4.0kg).Weighs 20.7lbs (9.4kg) in the case. *****Paypal payment preferred - Cash on Collection or Credit/Debit Cards can be accepted***** *****UK & Western Europe only - No Trades***** I am offering this for Sale to the UK & Western Europe only and will be happy to answer questions from potential buyers in those countries.If you are outside of this region I may choose not to enter into any communications with you - please don't be offended. I have bought and sold many fine Guitars over the years and have a 100% positive feedback rating which I'm very proud of.This is because I am honest & accurate with my photo's & descriptions and I ship out immediately on receipt of funds.Most of all I believe it is because each guitar I own gets set up by me to play perfectly! Every guitar I receive gets a fret dress & neck polish, intonation & action adjusted + all electrics checked before a new set of strings get fitted.I will usually gig with it myself in my band to check it plays beautifully before offering it for sale....I also work with other well known musicians as a Guitar Tech to make sure their guitars are in top shape before every performance. I am NOT a retailer & selling guitars is NOT my business however, I am so confident that every guitar I sell is 'the best it can be' I will offer a full refund if you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase as long as the guitar is returned in the same condition with any accessories intact!
