Description
Here's a literally one of a kind Tele that I purchased from Arlen Roth (the Master of the Telecaster!) a few years back. He got it from the original owner who had it since '66, and it has the ultra-rare ORIGINAL tortoise guard (verified by Fender Custom shop) that has only been seen on Clarence White's famous B-bender guitar from the same period. Sort of makes it like finding a rare custom color! Gruhn valued it way above what it can be had for here...It has all the original electronics, etc. and sounds amazing! Has that real loud, Don Rich,/Buck Owens "spanky" sound like the mid-sixites Teles do! And the neck pickup is super full and sweet sounding. Has the original case, that has evidence of once having some stickers on the front of it, but is otherwise in excellent shape. This is a primo electric guitar, and a real investor's piece. Oh yes, it is also EXTREMELY lightweight, perhaps the lightest mid-sixties Tele I have ever held in my hands. The maple neck has a beautiful flame to the back of it, which is why it appears to have a shift in color in the photo of it...that's just the change in grain, which has a nice tiger-eye effect. The stamping at the base of the neck says OCT366B. Neck has just some normal wear, and still has the original frets, which still have plenty of great playing time left on them! All-original piece, in superb condition, no disappointments here!! Happy bidding, and please feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks for looking! WHEN LISTING THIS ITEM I WAS ONLY GIVEN THE CHOICE OR PAYPAL AS A MEANS OF PAYMENT, BUT I WILL ALSO ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECK AND MONEY ORDER/CASHIER'S CHECK! FULL AMOUNT DUE UPON WINNING! THANKS!
