From the listing

Seller's description

Up for sale, a 1996 Fender American Vintage ‘52 Telecaster in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. One of Fender’s most popular (and since discontinued) USA-made vintage reissue models, this Tele is faithful to ‘52 “Blackguard” spec, boasting a gloss Butterscotch Blonde nitro lacquer finish on an ash body, with vintage-spec touches including brass saddles, a five-screw pickguard, and flathead screws throughout. The ash body and one-piece maple neck result in a lively, resonant acoustic platform with plenty of midrange punch and treble zing, providing an ideal platform for the pickup pair. Featuring alnico magnets, black fiber bobbins, cloth-covered leads, and flush-mount bridge pickup pole pieces, these pickups can chime and twang with the best, delivering the percussive cut and bell-like clarity that put Fender on the map more than seven decades ago. Weighing 7lbs 11oz, this American Vintage ‘52 Telecaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
