1975-76 Fender Telecaster Custom

Serial number dates to 1975, and the one original pot, and humbucker date to 1976. Filled non-original humbucker route under bridge. One non original tuner. Three pots replaced with CTS 1 meg linear taper (correct values and taper). NOS correct value and type caps. Original finish, throughout. original pickups. Original bridge including the rarely seen ashtray cover in great shape. Wiring has been modified slightly from stock. Frets measure .027-.030". This great old Tele has a fresh set up and fret polish. Its an easy player with very low action. It's got a great snappy Tele sound and the humbucker is thick like molasses. The wiring has been set up like a Les Paul for better interaction between volume and tone pots. A true relic, this fine git earned its scars the real way, working its ass off in smoky bars and nightclubs. Includes original hardshell case in good shape. $2000.00
