2001 Fender 1963 Telecaster Closet Classic Lake Placid Blue
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This 2001 Fender 1963 Closet Classic Custom Shop Telecaster was moved from Guitar Center to the original owner's home, where it was perhaps played once or twice. This was not because the guitar doesn't play or sound great (it does), it was due to the fact that the guitar was part of a collection of over 200 instruments that were mostly purchased as investments.
Fender nailed the checking on this one. Others I've seen have that really tight crackle checking that is the result of hot/cold treatment. This guitar looks authentic.
Included in the original case is all the Fender stuff that came with the guitar when it left the factory: certificate of authenticity, strap, cable, warranty papers, bridge cover - and, the owner kept the original Guitar Center price tag as well as his purchase receipt.
The guitar plays perfectly, having received a new set of strings and a basic setup in our shop. There are no changes, repairs or issues whatsoever. The truss rod was checked to make sure there is room for future neck relief adjustments. The frets look new.
A perfect guitar in a great color from a solid Fender Custom Shop era.
