1952 Fender Telecaster

 
1952 Fender Telecaster
 
 

The Telecaster is not only the first production solidbody electric guitar, it is also the classic one.
Created by Leo Fender in 1950, its design has seldom changed over the last 65 years.
Truth is, it can’t really be bettered: in its simplicity lies its success.

The list of great musicians who have played a Tele is literally endless:
Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Steve Cropper, Danny Gatton, PJ Harvey, Frank Black, James Burton…

This all original instrument is a great example of the classic Blackguard Tele,
it features a beautifully aged finish with some light play wear.
Both body and neck are dated April 1952 and signed by renowned Fender worker Tadeo Gomez.
Complete with some original owner provenance and its rare thermometer case.
