Up for sale is a RAD 1968 Fender Telecaster in a "Hippie Refin".

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Very Good vintage condition with good honest play wear, a refinished body, and a few other modifications which we'll call out in the specs below. We believe the refin was done around 1973, so it has a nicely aged patina. This guitar plays very well and has that quintessential Telecaster sound. It's a good'un for sure.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
