One of CBS/Fender's coolest and most memorable creations, the Rosewood Telecaster® is also one of the most collectible and sought after of post-Leo Fender® guitars.Overall length is 38 3/4 in. (98.4 cm.), 12 3/4 in. (32.4 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 3/4 in. (4.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 1/2 in. (648 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5/8 in. (41 mm.). All original, minor finish dings but no major wear; overall a very clean example. There appears to be a factory-spliced area on the rosewood back under the finish; not unheard of with this difficult-to-work material. Sounds and plays very well, a cool Fender® rarity. Excellent Condition.
