What We Think

Weight: 8.25 lbs.

Condition: Used, Good - Some finish dings, dimples, and scratches

This tele is a honey of a guitar! It's equally adept at crisp, clean arpeggios, twangy chicken-picking and big crunchy chords, its alder body and rosewood fingerboard contributing a pleasant blend of brightness and warmth. There's a reason that the telecaster is one of the most well-loved and revered guitars of all time and this baby more than lives up to the hype and the legacy!
