I always wanted a Tele, and when a friend of mine was selling this, I couldn't pass it up. Although the guitar is essentially everything I could want in terms of tone, playability, and cool factor, I'm not huge on black guitars, so I'm looking to sell this and buy a different color. This has a maple fretboard, which looks great against the black paisley body. The paisley is covered by a clear layer that has cracked in a couple places on mine (see photos). I've seen this on many of the Paisley Fenders. Doesn't affect the guitar at all, it's just worth mentioning. From many angles in person, you can't even see these cracks. The guitar plays and sounds great, and has nice action and a stellar neck. Being 5 years old, the guitar has seen a bunch of shows, and accordingly, has a few dings and chips as a result. I've tried to document all of this in the photos. The guitar comes with Schaller-style straplocks. The only other example of this guitar currently on Reverb has a price tag of $850 (in excellent shape) + $125 shipping! Save a bundle and pick up a great guitar with a little of that roadworn mojo! Thanks for looking. -Jacob
