A proper USA Tele from the American Series era. This 2002 example in Natural shows off a lovely ash body grain, paired with a satin maple neck that feels smooth and broken-in in all the right ways.
These early 2000s American Series models hit a nice balance between vintage feel and modern reliability – medium jumbo frets, a comfortable modern “C” neck, and a solid 6-saddle bridge that intonates properly across the board.
Tonally, it’s everything you want from a Tele. Bright, punchy bridge tones with plenty of snap, and a warm, clear neck pickup that keeps things versatile. It’s a workhorse that’ll cover a lot of ground.
This one is in very good condition and has clearly been well looked after. It’s been set up here at The Woodshed and plays spot on.
Comes complete with its original moulded hard case and paperwork.
