This is a seriously cool Tele, blending vintage aesthetics with modern playability. The Bigsby adds a lovely shimmer, and that Jazzmaster pickup in the neck provides a surprisingly sweet counterpoint to the Blackguard bridge tone. It's a premium-priced instrument ideal for players seeking a unique, characterful Tele with tremolo capabilities and a touch of vintage mojo.

Frequently Asked Questions
It softens the high-end and adds a warmer, rounder voice compared to a standard Tele neck pickup, creating a unique tonal palette.
It's a fairly substantial relic job, showing wear consistent with a well-loved vintage instrument – expect checking and wear marks across the body and neck.
