Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Absolutely laden with vintage vibe, this '55 Tele from Chad Underwood has all the trappings of a real-deal vintage 50s Tele at an absolute steal of a price. The deep U neck, single-ply white pickguard, and wonderful relic job are astoundingly convincing. The ash body, paired up with some hot Ron Ellis single-coil pickups balance a lively acoustic resonance with serious electric power.
