Wow! What an absolutely gorgeous Tele! This is a really killer and special guitar for sale, she is in such amazing condition its hard to believe this guitar is 45-46 years old. The reason we are listing this guitar as a 1975 / 1976 is because the build was started in late 75, and completed in early 76.
The neck pocket markings / stamps etc. date this build to late 1975, and the pot codes / electronics date the guitar to early 1976. The neck stamp reads 1303-3852.... where 13=Tele 03=neck type 38=week 5=year (1975) and 2=day.
The 4 bolt neck plate has a 76 serial number on a 75 style plate, and no SN# on the headstock, which is where Fender was transitioning the placement of the SN to be in 1976.
The pots are marked 1377609 137=CTS 76=year 09=week.
Now that's out of the way, lets look at this beautiful guitar up close. There are the expected small marks and dings from over the years, but is in overall excellent condition. We photographed the blemishes, and are seen in the listing. upon request we can send you more photos as we are limited to just 25. The largest blemish is where the ashtray sits on the upper side of the bridge. The mark got there because.... included is the ashtray cover. And apparently was being played with it on, which is pretty cool because we all know almost everybody tossed these things, or just lost them over the years. The neck is super comfortable, and is slightly chunky compared to most Tele's from this era. This Tele is also nice and light and weighs in at 7lbs 8oz! We know there is somebody who will love to give this amazing collector quality guitar a great home. She has a super straight neck, with low action, and plays like butter. Please see our embedded YouTube Video to hear this guitar for yourself, she absolutely rocks! Killer vintage Tele tone!These 45 year old Tele's are some of Fenders best late models that have come full circle are now accepted as a wonderful players guitars and for good reason too, we can't agree more! Original OHSC included, this will be a perfect addition to anybody's guitar collection.
