CloseThis guitar is a Partscaster build, and is not an original factory model from any manufacturer.
Physical Condition
This guitar is based around an original run Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster body that's had the black/grey painted areas stripped. The body shows plenty of gigging wear such as dents, scuffs, and scratches. This body has also had a Bigsby B16 installed at some point, which has left behind many drilled holes that were required to mount the tremolo. The neck is a newer Fender Roasted Maple Vintera Mod 50's Telecaster Neck; the neck doesn't show much play wear at all, but does have a repaired hairline crack spreading from the low E string tuner screw, as well as a tiny hole near the high E string tuner, where the headstock was accidentally drilled all the way through when installing the tuning keys. The bridge is a newer Fender vintage style bridge, the neck plate is unbranded and is more than likely not original, and the original control plate (not included) has been replaced with a control plate that features a three way toggle switch instead of the standard Telecaster blade switch. The pickguard is also not original, and has some sanding scuffs and scratches on it as if someone attempted to age the guard a bit to match the body. Many of the screws are mismatched and not original. Otherwise, there is no other cosmetic damage to make note of aside from some superficial wear associated with normal play and use. Overall, this is a great sounding and playing guitar.
Known specs: Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster Body (stripped finish), Fender Roasted Maple Vintera Mod 50's Telecaster Neck, Bare Knuckle bridge pickup, CTS Pots, Orange Drop capacitor, Fender Road Worn Tuning Keys.
Fretwear
This guitar only has some super light wear on the first few frets, but plays great.
Action
Action is low and plays great, but may require a quick tweak to your liking.
Electronics
This guitar has a Bare Knuckle (no model specified) pickup in the bridge, and what also seems to be a Bareknuckle neck pickup; the neck pickup is not marked, but we're fairly sure this a matching pickup set. All electronics work properly and sound great.
Case
No case or gig bag included.
