This is a rare original custom color Telecaster Bass, which is the last of the Lake Placid Blue.

The faded blue color and the fine weather checks give it an outstanding atmosphere that can only be created by real vintage guitars. (There is a touch-up part.) Serial number range is 72-73.

Serial number range is 72-73. The last number on the neck date is 2.
The pegs and pots used since 1972 are Vol 73, Tone 72, and the shipment itself is judged to be 1973.
The pickups are original humbucking pickups, and the other wiring and condensers also show a high degree of originality.

The nuts and frets have been replaced, and the work has been done with care.
The fretboard appears to have been modified and overcoated at that time.

The neck condition is good for its age.
The E string is currently set up at about 2.3mm on the 12th fret, and the G string at about 2.1mm.
There is room for some adjustment at the truss rod and bridge saddle.

The pickguard has a crack near the PU and requires some care when removing it.
The G string peg is bent, but there is no problem with its functionality.

The bridge and other small screws can be used without any stress at present.
There is no obvious history of replacement or repair, and the electrical system is working without any problems.

The body style has a large circumference in both thickness and thickness, and a powerful monster tone produced from a single high-output humbucker.
However, it does not lean too much toward boomy, but has a sense of airiness and dryness in its fatness.
The sound is also a major element of the vintage sound.
This is a guitar that is absolutely and uniquely appealing to Motown, Reggae, Rock 'n' Roll, Punk, Ska, and more.

Please take advantage of this opportunity.
