Chad Underwood Custom Relic Blackguard Telecaster w/ Hard Case 6lbs 5.5oz

EleNo sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Chad Underwood Custom Relic Blackguard Telecaster is a boutique, hand-built take on one of the most iconic electric guitar designs ever made, executed with exceptional feel, tone, and attention to detail. Weighing in at just 6 pounds 5 ounces, this guitar is incredibly resonant and comfortable, making it a joy to play for long sessions while delivering the lively, open response players chase in great T-style guitars.

This example is in near mint condition and includes a hard case.  The relic work is perfect.  It plays effortlessly, stays in tune, and delivers boutique craftsmanship with real-world usability. It’s the kind of guitar that feels alive in your hands and immediately inspires.  The guitar is fitted with jumbo frets, and they feel amazing, allowing for killer bends and a light playing touch.

The lightweight body rings out acoustically with impressive volume and snap, and that translates directly into a punchy, articulate amplified tone. Expect classic Blackguard-style bite on the bridge pickup with tight lows and cutting highs, paired with warm, clear neck tones that handle everything from country and blues to rock and roots music with ease. The neck has a broken-in, comfortable feel thanks to the tasteful relic work, and the guitar responds beautifully to pick attack and volume knob changes, making it a truly expressive player’s instrument.

As with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally set up to play its absolute best.

We buy, sell, and take trades.
