[SN S839308] USED FENDER USA / 1978 Telecaster Blonde [03]

[SN S839308] USED FENDER USA / 1978 Telecaster Blonde [03]

A used 1978 Fender USA Telecaster Blonde has arrived.

The finish shows signs of aging, discoloration, peeling, sanding, and scuffs, indicating overall wear and tear. Additionally, due to peeling paint on the back of the neck and the fingerboard, the surface feels rough to the touch, which may affect playability.
The front pickup has very low output; the sound virtually disappears when the tone control is turned down.
The frets are low, and many parts have been replaced. There is rust on the metal hardware.
For these reasons, this guitar is recommended for someone willing to perform a full restoration (including repainting, refretting, and re-wiring).
