An Exceptionally Fine Late Fifties "Birds-Eye" Maple Telecaster

1959 Fender Telecaster.

This fifty-five year-old 'featherweight' Blond beauty weighs just 6.80 lbs. Solid ash body with a nice thin profile highly figured fretted "birds-eye" maple neck with 21 original frets and black dot position markers. Two pickups with outputs of 6.46k and 6.77k. Telecaster combined bridge/tailpiece. The "birds-eye" maple neck is one of the prettiest that we have seen and the extra hard wood has resulted in virtually no fretboard wear. The lovely grain of the ash body shows very well through the finish and at just 6.80 lbs., this is certainly one of the lightest Telecasters that we have handled. Housed in the original "Export" tan hardshell case with burgundy plush lining (9.00).
