Seller's description

Greetings and thank you for your interest in this listing for a stunning Fender Elite Telecaster, crafted in Fullerton, California, back in 1983. This is a gorgeous, old-school, ebony black Tele from the final golden years of the historic Fullerton factory, just before Fender U.S. production relocated to the Corona plant in 1985 This guitar has undergone a complete, professional restoration by Senior Luthier Germano Fusco himself (the owner of Fusco Guitars). The result is absolutely mind-blowing: this gorgeous Elite has been brought back to its former glory, an incredible 43 years after it first left the factory. Here are the key details of this instrument: Frets The fretboard has been professionally refretted, meaning the frets are at a full 100% with a lifetime of playability ahead. Electronics The electronics on this model are notoriously complex, but they have been meticulously serviced and now function flawlessly. Sound & Playability It plays and sounds like an absolute dream, exactly what you would expect from a top-tier old school Fullerton-made Telecaster. Aesthetics The body has been professionally restored to its original, striking Ebony Black finish. The neck has aged beautifully over the decades, developing a highly sought-after, deep amber tint that gives it incredible vintage character. Case This Elite comes complete with its original Fender hardshell case (shown in the photos). The case has no cracks or structural damage, and all latches and hinges work perfectly ( which is a true rarity for Fender cases from this specific era). I am offering this vintage masterpiece for the same price as a brand-new, standard American Professional. Honestly, comparing the two is almost an insult. You are getting a rare piece of Fender history, fully restored to perfection, for the price of an assembly-line modern guitar. Photos are an integral part of the description. Take your time to look at them, because they speak better than any words. I got more than 40 HD pho
