Overall condition is excellent, and all major components except for one potentiometer are original, including the pickguard, bridge, tuners, knobs, and nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blonde ash Telecaster is one of the most enduring configurations in the electric guitar world — the combination Fender offered from the very beginning of the Telecaster's production run. Ash was Fender's primary body wood on transparent finished Telecasters through much of the 1950s and into the 1970s, prized for its tight grain and the way it contributes to the Telecaster's characteristic snap and clarity. The all-maple neck with a 7.25\" radius and C profile represents traditional Fender geometry, familiar to players who grew up on vintage Fenders. Both of the original pickups read well: bridge at 6.73k and neck at 7.16k, consistent with stock Fender Tele single-coils. The original case is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frets have been replaced and the guitar plays great. The nut is original. There is one extra mounting screw hole on the neck heel that appears to be a factory mistake. No other condition issues are noted. Exact production dates are documented on the instrument itself — see photos for body and neck date codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 7lbs 8.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall length: 38 3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut width: 1-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 1st String at 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 6th String at 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlays: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck thickness at 1st Fret: .89\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Date\/Code: See Pics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Date\/Code: See Pics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower bout: 12 5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 8 15\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper bout: 10 7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody depth\/thickness outside edge: 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickguard: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCase: OHSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString gauge: .010\"-.046\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNotes: The neck has one extra mounting screw hole that looks like a factory mistake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eProfile: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFrets: Replaced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eRadius: 7.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck thickness at 12th Fret: .906\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHardware Color: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBridge Pickup\/Brand: Fender Tele Bridge Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickup Reading: 6.73k\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOriginal?: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Pickup\/Brand: Fender Tele Neck Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickup Reading: 7.16k\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOriginal?: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBridge: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eKnobs: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSwitch: 3 Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePots\/Codes: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/sell-vintage-guitars\"\u003eWe buy, sell, and take trades.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to check out the other cool guitar related stuff on our site!\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/vintage-fender-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Fender electric guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eFender Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/gibson-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Gibson electric guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eGibson Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/amps\" title=\"Vintage and used guitar amplifiers at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Amplifiers\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/effect-pedals\" title=\"Vintage and used effects pedals at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Effects Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy completing your purchase you are agreeing to this shipping policy.
