This 1998 Fender Jerry Donahue Telecaster is a really nice, Crafted in Japan guitar with a classic look.  

We've been stumbling into a bunch of Japanese Fenders of late, and they're all great guitars.  This one is no slouch.  

The guitar has been played but was well cared for.  There are no changes, repairs, or issues, and the neck is perfect with room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.  The frets show much less than average wear for a 26 year old guitar.  They're good to go for years.

I assume the case is original, though I do see several of these out there with tweed cases.  The brown case is a nice touch, either way.
