Ok, so this guitar belongs to a buddy of mine, and I told him I'd advertise it a few places for him to see if I could sell it for him. It's an extremely nice original "E" serial number made in Japan Telecaster, no noticeable damage. No buckle rash, a few small impressions in the paint, but no chips or deep scratches. I've had a few early to mid eighties Fender Japan Basses, and the quality of this guitar is right on par with those. They were some of the nicest quality Fenders I've had- hands down. The fit and finish of these guitars is rarely seen nowadays at double the price.
I paint cars for a living, so I'm hyper sensitive to paint thickness. This guitar doesn't have the thick "dipped in plastic" finish that you see on new MIJ guitars. The paint finish is thin- as is the clear on the neck. The neck has nice subtle figuring on the fretboard, zero wear on the frets. A couple of tiny wear marks on the neck at the first few frets, B and E strings. That's the only noticeable wear I can find on the guitar-
Electronics all original, and work fine. Guitar has the tele tone you'd expect-
Comes with it's original hsc. All clasps and hinges in perfect shape-
