evolution, blending traditional Telecaster snap with the added power and versatility of a wide-range humbucker in the neck position. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"104\" data-end=\"652\"\u003eTele Customs in black are subject to the Keith Richards Effect as he used one from the late 70s through the early 80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eThis is just about the perfect example.  These guitars are usually heavy, but black Customs have alder bodies, so this one weighs just a hair over 7.5 pounds.  The neck has that comfortable, broken-in vintage feel that makes these guitars so enjoyable to play for long sessions.  The parts and finish are all original.  The frets have been leveled and crowned once, and there is plenty of meat left on them.  The truss rod is fully functional, and the setup came out great.  The case is original to the guitar, making this a killer package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
