A Super 1969 Blond Telecaster with a Wonderful Medium to Thick Neck Profile

This beautifully aged late sixties Blond Telecaster weighs in at just 7.30 lbs. and has a nut width of just over 1 5/8 and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Solid alder body, one-piece maple neck with a wonderful medium to thick profile, 21 frets and inlaid black dot position markers. Headstock decal with "Fender" logo in black with gold trim, "Telecaster" in black beside it, and two patent numbers beneath "Fender." Individual Fender "F" tuners with octagonal metal buttons. Single "butterfly" string tree. One plain metal-cover pickup (at neck) with a really hot output of 6.63k and one light gray-bottom six-polepiece pickup (angled in bridgeplate) with an output of 5.79k. Three-layer (white/black/white) plastic pickguard with eight screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) and one three-way selector switch (with black plastic "Top-Hat" tip), all on metal plate adjoining pickguard. Chrome knobs with flat tops and knurled sides. Fender combined bridge/tailpiece with original chrome "ashtray" bridge cover. The neck is dated "3 AUG 69B" and the pots are dated "137 6612" (CTS March 1966). This guitar is in near mint (9.25) condition. The original nicely-grained Blond finish has beautifully and evenly mellowed out to a rich dark cream. There is a tiny crack on the edge of the pickguard by the screwhole nearest the control cavity cover, a very small cigarette mark on the headstock by the low 'E' tuner and a few insignificant edge marks. Otherwise this thirty-eight year old guitar is in as fine condition as you could ever wish for. Housed in its original Fender black "logo" hardshell case with dark orange plush lining (9.00).
