This Partscaster Tele is a great find for anyone who loves to take the road less traveled. It's a mish-mash of mostly late '70s and 2011 parts, with a vintage neck (our best educated guess is 1978) and electronics, combined with a 2011 MIM Alder body. The bridge is a replacement with 4 brass and 2 aluminum saddles.
The body is in great cosmetic shape with typical light play wear, and the vintage components are in very good condition for their age. The frets have a little wear, and the fretboard and hardware show some natural aging. Generally, this is a sweet and unique guitar in Very Good condition.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
