1977 Fender Telecaster Electric Guitar – Black with White Pickguard (Tuxedo)

$2,499.00

In early 1951, Fender renamed its only production solid-body guitar the Telecaster, replacing the short-lived Broadcaster moniker used in late 1950. The Telecaster quickly became the guitar of its age, propelling the status of the solid-body electric guitar from novelty to the defining instrument of popular music. Like most long-lasting guitar models, the Tele has seen its share of variations and specialty models come off the line since the early ’50s. The standard no-frills Telecaster, however, has stayed largely the same, strutting two single-coil pickups, a slab body of Ash (or later Alder), and an unmistakable twang that helped shape the sound of country and rock music. This particular example has had the neck pickup changed (but original is included), and at one point someone mounted a Fender Amp logo to the top (two holes were filled after it was removed).
