Seller's description

Up for sale, a 1960 Fender Telecaster in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a blonde G&G Deluxe hardshell case. Crafted early in ‘60, this Telecaster boasts a body-only refinish and light relic in custom color Tahitian Coral nitro lacquer, retaining original electronics, hardware and plastics. Tonewoods include an alder body and a maple neck capped with a slab Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, lively and resonant with a strong treble cut when strummed acoustically. The single coil pickups are punchy, sweet, and immediate, with modern wiring on the three-way switch (Bridge, Bridge+Neck, Neck). The bridge pickup has a chewy sparkle and particularly balanced, even sound, and each string has equal presence with both treble snap and bass-register breadth. The neck pickup is bell-like, smooth and detailed with excellent percussive cut. This Telecaster weighs 7lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
