Fender California Series Telecaster, sunburst ().
Purchased new by my friend in . It has a sunburst alder body, maple neck and 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets. These guitars are marked 'Made in USA', but are actually part made in Mexico - the original hang tag is included which describes this. The guitar is in good condition, but has acquired a couple of small marks over the last 20 years (very small chips to the edge of the body). Frets are in good condition, with only light wear. The guitar has been slightly modified and is now routed HSH with a rebate in the control cavity so it will easily accommodate a Superswitch. The guitar has screening on the internal cavities and now has a chrome Gotoh GTC301 humbucker bridge. The control plate and Kluson style tuners are also by Gotoh (tuners marked 'Japan' on the inside). Pickups are a chrome Kent Armstrong/Sky humbucker sized P90 in the bridge, a Seymour Duncan SSL-5 in the middle and a Seymour Duncan SSL-1 in the neck. It's wired up with a 5-way Superswitch and CTS pots and provides selections like a Strat except the middle position is bridge+neck. It sounds superb and the bridge P90 gives it a thicker, hotter sound without being overpowering. It's a great guitar as it is, but it also comes with two spare pickguards (humbucker, and single coil+humbucker) so it's easy to mod. A deluxe Fender gig bag is included as is a second Kent Armstrong/Sky humbucker sized P90 (nickel finish, RWRP compared to the bridge pickup) Cash on Collection only from Leyland, Lancashire Read More
