This '74 Tele Custom has seen a little work that improves the playability while retaining all the originality a collector wants to see.  It also weighs in lower than most at just 7 pounds 6.2 ounces.

Pickups, pots, tuners, the bridge - all are original and no solders have been changed.  

The frets have been replaced and the fretboard refinished, replacing the original, thick poly finish in the place where it is most annoying.  The fret material is era appropriate and the playability is as good as any 70s Tele we've had, partly because they're usually played enough to make the frets tough to work with.

There are no other changes or repairs to note and the neck is straight with a fully functional truss rod.

Original bridge cover and case included.
