FENDER TELECASTER, 1966

blond. Beautiful and all-original guitar (yes, one more!): nitrocellulose finish is the classic whitish 'blond' of the late '60s,  and it is in excellent conditions, with some wear on the body edges (wood is visible in a few spots) and some minor scratches that don't go through the finish. Neck date September '66, pots date 31th week of '66 Stackpole (304), pickup date November 1966. Rosewood fretboard with pearloid dots, original frets with wear but still very playable, headstock with gold transition logo in good shape. Kluson Deluxe tuning machines. Light checking on the back of neck, and heavy checking on the back of the headstock. Metal parts are in good conditions, with some chrome plating worn-off from knobs and some rust on bridge threaded saddles. Pickguard has no cracks, an everything is original. Hardshell case is the typical 'For Fender' case always seen on Fenders exported to Italy, and it still retains the original plaque of the shop where it has been purchased 35 years ago... Musicians and collectors, this guitar sounds and looks right, so look at the pictures, and open them one at a time:
