Fender Telecaster Deluxe Series MIM 1997 Candy Apple Red
$599.99No sales tax for customers outside California.
Some of the nicer Teles to come out of the Mexico factory during this period are the Deluxe Series with The Nashville Tele pickup configuration. This Candy Apple Red version has been upgraded with Seymour Duncans with a blade humbucker installed in the middle position. Go from fat to quacky and everything in between using the 5 position switch.
The guitar shows very little wear, no nicks or dings on the body. The frets show little wear. The neck is straight and the truss rod has been checked and adjusted with room for future adjustments.
Low action and spot on intonation make this guitar a fun player and the finish will look great under the stage lights. One of the coolest upgrades on this instrument is the Warmoth 3 ply black / red / black pickguard giving off a hot rod vibe.
Comes with a lightweight hybrid foam lined case.
