Received this handsome, great-playing Tele in a trade a couple of weeks ago and it turns out I'm not an SS Tele guy -- I prefer the WRHB in the neck. Looking to move this on to a player who will really appreciate it.
As far as I can tell it's almost completely bone stock, save for a kill switch that was added by the previous owner.
Cosmetically it's in near-perfect shape with only a hair-line scratch near the output jack (pictured). The neck is straight, action is perfect and the satin finish on the neck feels great. The frets could use a polish tho.
She's strung with a fresh set of D'Addario XT 10's.
It does not come with either a HSC or a gig bag.
Cash or Venmo preferred. No trades at this time. Pick up in West Town or I can deliver to your door for a small fee.
From Fender:
The Fender Player Telecaster is a modern, accessible rendition of an electric guitar icon that helped define popular music. This model enhances the legacy with contemporary features appealing to musicians of all skill levels.
This Tele features a solid alder body that generates a balanced tone with punchy lows and crisp highs. Alder's lightweight, resonant properties highlight the pickups' sonic characteristics, while the body shape, unchanged since the 1950s, is comfortable and familiar.
The satin maple neck features a comfortable Modern C profile and 9.5" radius fingerboard for effortless soloing and bending. The Player Telecaster’s 22 medium-jumbo frets provide ample space for complex chords and melodies. Its neck construction produces the resonant, articulate tones the Tele is known for.
Two Player Series Alnico V single-coil pickups deliver the cutting twang the Telecaster is renowned for. The bridge pickup produces a biting tone ideal for rock and country, while the neck pickup delivers warmth perfect for rhythm playing. A 3-way switch lets you choose either pickup alone or combine them for the classic Tele sound that shaped music.
The 6-saddle bridge provides accurate intonation for chords and single notes across the fingerboard. Steel saddles transfer string vibration to the body, emphasizing brightness and attack. Individual saddle height adjustment customizes action and feel.
Whether you play rock, country, blues or jazz, this Player Series Tele offers tones that are perfect for whatever style you throw at it. This model's contemporary enhancements expand its versatility, while retaining its distinctive sound and style. Musicians wanting a broad-ranging workhorse will appreciate this guitar for life.
