USED Fender USA / American Vintage '52 Telecaster, Butterscotch Blonde [11]

The ’52 Telecaster, a flagship model of Fender USA’s Vintage Reissue Series.
This model faithfully reproduces the specifications of the 1952 Telecaster, featuring an ash body, a one-piece maple neck, a 7.25-inch radius fingerboard, 21 frets, and a vintage-style bridge with three saddles. The Butterscotch Blonde body is paired with a black single-ply pickguard, creating a classic Telecaster look.

It is equipped with two cross-wired pickups. With simple one-volume, one-tone controls and a 3-way selector switch, this guitar lets you enjoy the pure Telecaster sound.

This particular guitar was manufactured in 1998 and offers the unique specifications and vibe characteristic of 1990s U.S.-made vintage reissues—distinct from the current American Vintage series.
The screw heads on the strap pins are Phillips-head, so it appears they have been replaced.
The wiring around the volume pot and switch may have been replaced at some point.
The pickguard is warped and slightly lifted. There is some rust and tarnish on the metal parts.
There are also some minor scratches and dents, but no particularly noticeable damage is visible.
There are no noticeable issues with the neck, and it is in good playing condition.
Condition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use
