2016 Warrior Bella '52 Ice Tea Burst, Near Mint, Original Hard, $1,999.00
Offered is this very cool 50's style Tele from Warrior Guitars of Rossville, Georgia, a model they call the Bella '52. This particular piece was built for and on display at the 2016 Summer NAMM show in Nashville.
This Bella '52 has an air-dried Swamp Ash body and a one-piece Maple neck and was assembled vintage-style hide glue. It has an Ice Tea burst oil finish which gives it a great aged feel and which maximizes the resonance of the wood. This is a 25.5" scale instrument with a 22-fret neck. The neck's shape is a vintage C-shape with depth measurements of .850" at the first fret and .960" at the twelfth fret. It has a 1-5/8" bone nut, a 12" fretboard radius and medium/jumbo frets. It has a vintage-style Tele bridge with three brass saddles. The electronics include Jimmy Wallace single coils and modern Tele wiring and controls, although the control plate has been reversed on this guitar for easy access to the volume knob for swells and such. The tuners are Klusons and all the hardware has been aged to complete the vintage look and feel. The guitar weighs a very light 6.8 pounds!
Tele lovers will be immediately comfortable with this guitar. While nearly new, it has a well worn-in feel like a favorite pair of jeans. The guitar is light and well-balanced and feels great in your hands. The tone is classic Tele with lots of spank and twang without being piercing.
This guitar has been only lightly played and shows no wear of any significance and the frets are spotless. Warrior gets nearly $4K for these new, but this near new example can be yours for half that amount. It comes in it's original G&G case with the certificate of authenticity and a bunch of accessories. A lot of Tele for not much money. Make it yours!
