  • Description:

    Featuring an unusual rosewood fretboard, this heavily yellowed white Tele® has a nice round neck that makes it a very different player than most.  Good for bends on its medium-high-action neck, it has a fuller feel than the majority of ‘70s Teles we see here.  With some white areas toward the bottom and sides of the guitar, you can see a bit of what it looked like when it was born.  This one plays great!
