This incredible example of a Tele is light, acoustically loud and has an incredible feel! The Thick 50s U shaped neck is actually really comfortable for quick leads cowboy chords. The hotter pickups they wound for this series are among some of my favorites. Pushed, loud and punchy, but cleanup on a dime. This Tele has not been modified aside from a few extra bumps of character. Little to no signs of fret wear and set-up so good its dangerous. The skunk stripe on the back of the neck seems to have been installed a little funky and there is a depression that you can feel with your thumb, but never while playing.

From Fender:
The Vintera Road Worn '50s Telecaster recreates the look and feel of a well-loved original.
Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer - prized for its natural tonal qualities and distinct aging patterns, then hand-distressed for an authentically broken-in look, this Tele delivers the bell-like tone and playing comfort you'd expect from a great vintage guitar.
For modern Fender tone we recreated the pair of '50s single-coil Telecaster pickups then kicked things up a bit by increasing the output. Twangy and articulate, they have the power you need for any style of music. The thick, fat-shouldered Thick '50s "U"-shaped neck has a 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-tall frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style Tele bridge with three brass barrel saddles gives this Telecaster it's characteristic twang, while vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, chrome hardware and four-bolt neck plate.
