The Story

Used 2003 '63 Telecaster NOS Electric Guitar Candy Apple Red

Here's a pre-owned Custom Shop '63 Telecaster in a beautiful NOS Candy Apple Red finish. The '63 Tele has a very comfortable "C" shaped maple neck along with a Rosewood fretboard, 7.25" radius with vintage-style frets for that old-school '60s feel, two single-coil Tele pickups with a three way switch, and 3-saddle bridge with threaded saddles.

As all guitars that feel this good should - this Tele has been played and has accumulated some light marks and scattered dings around the body. The switch tip has been changed for a Strat tip, and there are some discoloration marks on the pickguard. All in all, an excellent vintage-style Tele with looks to match the sound.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
