Vintage Fender Telecaster Custom – 1976 Rare – Outstanding Condition. The beautiful grain of this body cannot be overstated and photos just can’t seem to capture it completely. This original humbucker and original single coil guitar produces unique tones. The heavy solid body supplies classic Tele tone and bite. This guitar was played professionally in the Chicago area. Instrument is in outstanding condition. Frets are in outstanding condition and action is amazing. I have performed for many years with this classic beauty and it holds its tuning like no other guitar… It’s truly a professional instrument. I believe this natural finish is original. When I acquired the guitar the body had been sprayed with blue paint. Luckily, it had no adhesion and was flaking away so I could see the natural finish below. A bit of rubbing alcohol cleared away the loose paint and WOW it looks great… And it had a satin finish with a gorgeous wood grain that you can check out in the photos! 21 frets and black dot position inlays on a maple fretboard with maple neck… 3-Bolt Neck Plate with Micro-Tilt Adjustment. Vintage F Style Tuning Machines. Controls: Volume 1, Volume 2, Tone 1, Tone 2. Case: Hardshell, not original. I see a few faint areas near the cutaway where a bit of blue color remains, also similar discolorations on edges – see photos. A bit of rubbing compound will probably remove them completely. There is a small ding in the finish on back lower left – see photo – and very light chipping on top edge near the player – see photo. Guitar stand not included.

Pots date to 1973. This goldtop is the real thing, played by its original owner for most of its life in countless clubs and music venues. This Les Paul not only sings the Blues… But looks the part! The nitrocellulose lacquer finish, due to age and way too many smokey bars, has checked the nitro-finish to perfection… It is what Custom Shop’s can only pretend to achieve. I would rate this guitar in “very good” players condition. Only do to a professional headstock repair in the late 70s. The repair has been examined by my luthier who stated it was professionally done and is very stable. Truss rod works fine. Most recently I have had my luthier do a re-fret on this goldtop using NOS original Gibson fret wire from the 1970s. You will be hard to find a vintage guitar of this age that plays as well as this gold top! The neck is straight and has a very comfortable 70’s medium-thin profile with a beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard. Original tuners work very well along with all other original hardware parts. Weight is just about 9lbs. If you look closely at the pictures, this goldtop and case is really in great condition for its age. The rosewood fretboard has no divots or marks, a small amount of buckle rash on the back side and showing only a reasonable amount of overall marks for its age. Plenty of Nitro checking, yellowing of the binding, chipped knobs and back plate with all hardware being dulled down over time… A true vintage relic. Played acoustically the guitar resonate so much you can feel it… When plugged in she will sustain for ever! The P-90s, I was told, are original Gibson’s from either the 70s or 80s… And are beautiful sounding when played clean. When pushed with overdrive… The breakup becomes fat & edgy with that gorgeous Blusey tone only a Les Paul with P-90s can deliver! There is a non-working toggle switch in between the control knobs that could be wired for a phase switch etc. The original hardshell case has the Gibson logo on the top exterior with 5-working latches and handle. The plush purple interior is still in good condition with a working accessory compartment.
