Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.

It just can't get anymore classic than a Butterscotch Blackguard Tele! This guitar is everything you need and nothing that you don't, and our luthier's handiwork really makes this thing play like butter - no pun intended! It's not too heavy and the neck profile isn't like a baseball bat but does fit comfortably. Bends feel easy across the maple fingerboard, and this guitar spanks, twangs, and honks in all of the ways that a good Tele should. Don't miss this one!
