1978 Fender Telecaster Custom and Original Fender Case.

PRICE DROPPED TO £2,350 Now £2300.

Time to sell this lovely example. It’s in great condition and with the exception of a couple of saddle screws, all original.

Although it is often quoted online, that the seventies Fenders are all heavy and poorly put together with sloppy fitting necks etc. This forty year old guitar definitely does not fall in to that category.

The neck is a lovely fit in the pocket. The controls work faultlessly. All hardware is present and correct, including the original ash tray/bridge cover.

Truss rod functions as it should.

The weight is 8lb 6oz.

The one piece Ash body looks great. Finish is good with a few dings and buckle rash.

The pick guard is all intact, with slight buckling and a scratch, which should all be visible in the photos.

The neck is comfortable and the radius is 7.25.

Width at nut is 42.25 mm.

Frets are still very good, with just a little grooving under the G, to the first few. Tuning, playing and intonation are not affected.

The case is in great condition and all latches work perfectly.

Plenty of photos attached, which will hopefully show all the details that you need.

I looked for a long time to find a good vintage Tele and have been very happy with my purchase. Reason for sale is that I’m only gigging on bass, my guitar playing is just at home, for my own enjoyment and my Tribute G&L is all I really need for that at the moment. Also I’m looking to fund another bass purchase.

Would prefer a sale but might consider a trade for a lesser value guitar plus cash my way.

Collection much preferred, I’m in Herts.

If postage is required I will provide a costing to include insurance cover.

Cash or Bank Transfer ideally. I'm a little reluctant to use Pay Pal due to them messing me about recently, although we can discuss if necessary.

Any questions or if additional photos are required just let me know.
