This is a 1978 Fender Telecaster Custom with a natural finish and rosewood fingerboard.

This 1978 Telecaster has a beautifully aged appearance.

The frets have been refretted and the nut replaced. While there is some discoloration and tarnish on the parts, as well as minor scratches, scuffs, and picking marks—all typical for its age—the guitar has a vintage-inspired look and is in good condition.

Set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment, fretting surface leveling, and installation of the octave adjustment spring); the frets are at a height suitable for playing, and the truss rod is in good condition even when fully loosened.
