Fender Telecaster Blonde 1977

The Telecaster has been a favorite among many guitarists for years; praised by many for its no-nonsense character, but equally loved for its versatility. No musical style is too powerful for the all-round Telecaster!

The model had been an indispensable part of the guitar landscape since the early 1950s, and has remained virtually unchanged over the years. An important moment for Fender came in 1966, when Leo Fender sold his company to CBS. From that moment on, Fender focused more on mass production, and changes were also made to the specifications, including the use of different lacquer and material for the fingerboard inlays and pickguards. According to critics, the instruments from the CBS era are inferior to the guitars from Fender's early days, but we have to say honestly that this Telecaster from 1977 is still a very nice guitar!

This Telecaster from 1977 is a beautiful appearance with its Blonde finish, and the finish forms an excellent combination with the black pickguard and the rosewood fingerboard. The maple neck is wonderful to play, and you can feel the vibrations of a well-played vintage guitar with every note and every chord. Telecasters from the 70s are often very heavy instruments, but this guitar is not heavy at all, weighing in at 3.6 kilograms!

The guitar has new potentiometers and a switch, but the pickups are original. Furthermore, a refret has been performed, and a milling has been made under the pickguard to make room for a battery. Otherwise, the guitar is original. This Telecaster is a beautiful example of how a guitar can be well-played after almost half a century, but still be well maintained.
