Up for sale, a 1972 Fender Telecaster in collector-grade, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. With a 1950s-centric tonewood complement of an ash body and a lightly figured one-piece maple neck with a U-shaped profile carve, this Tele yields a certain natural midrange detail and treble cut. The original pair of single coil pickups deliver quintessential Tele snap and sparkle at each position on the three-way pickup selector switch: the staggered alnico pole pieces and brass baseplate on the bridge pickup ensure plenty of chewy twang and authoritative snap, while the neck pickup has a smooth percussive cut and bell-like clarity.
