Up for sale, a 1973 Fender Telecaster Custom in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. 100% original save for a new carved bone nut, this Telecaster boasts the original Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece with a gloss Mocha finish over the alder body. The guitar has a clear, balanced acoustic quality, and the uncommon rosewood fingerboard adds additional warmth and detail. A very clear and percussive sounding humbucker design with more shimmer and top end detail than most dual coil pickups, the Wide Range humbucker pairs very well with the bridge position single coil in terms of output, and the two pickups compliment each other very well when both are engaged. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, we’ve dialed in this Telecaster with 10-46 strings, low action and spot-on intonation. The maple neck has a slender C profile carve with full-feeling shoulders and faintly rolled fretboard edges, measuring. 820 deep at the 1st fret and. 895 at the 12th. The rosewood fretboard is a nice dark cut of this tonewood with pearloid dot inlay and original slender frets. The frets have well-rounded crowns, showing just a touch of wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3, and virtually no wear further up the fretboard. The guitar plays well up the 25 1/2 scale, and the neck is straight with a responsive, optimally adjusted truss rod. The nut measures 1 5/8 in width, upgraded to a hand-carved piece of bone for optimal note clarity and sustain. The headstock sports the original Fender “F” tuning machines which turn smoothly and hold pitch well with gleaming chrome plating. The neck heel retains its bold black ink stamp which dates to’73. On the body, all of the electronics work as they should, with untouched solder joints and original CTS pots which date to the 24th week of’73. Equipped from the factory with a Fender-branded Bigsby B5 vibrato and corresponding Jazzmaster-style bridge, this Telecaster offers expressive warbles and flutters, jumping back to the original pitch reliably. Plastics include the original quartet of witch hat knobs and the large three-ply pickguard which exhibits some pick scuffing on the treble side, extending to the Wide Range cover. The transparent Mocha gloss finish is 100% original with no touchup or overspray, exhibiting a slightly musty, smokey odor that should dissipate over time. Cosmetic wear is limited to a few small nicks where the forearm crosses the top, a faint spot of buckle rash at the treble-side waist, and just a few additional light scuffs and marks on the body as a whole. The neck retains its smooth gloss, and the profile is very clean save for one small nick of note on the treble-side shoulder at the 14th fret. The original black tolex Fender hardshell case is included. The case features black leather ends, a trio of original functional latches, stock handle, and raised Fender logo on the exterior.

SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS!! Up for grabs is probably the ULTIMATE In an 8 GUITAR speaker. This model is one of several models that we will now be offering, based around the seemingly unbeatable sound of the Western Electric/Altec Lansing 755 speaker paper cone.. They will be for Hi-Fi, musical instruments, and even PA use models.. If you need clean channel/ amplified acoustic guitar in it’s purist form, this is the one to play/record with.. If you LOVE detailed over drive, you can close your eyes, and in your head you can almost envision the shape of the complex incoming wave forms. These things have “CRUNCH”… More than the Captain ever offered’…. The 755 cone, has been a leader for DECADES as far as providing a transparent, detailed, fairly wide range sound… Some models with this cone command a hefty 3 grand! It uses a special blend of special pulps, binding agents, kapok, and felts(seems strange right), to get an inherent dampening ability to suppress “ringing” , pulse hangover, and phantom notes from the cone material ringing.. A tonality that is compatible to the G5 hemp formulations. This tonality starts and’stops fast. Very fast impulse response, transient capabilities, detail, presence,’believability’, and 3D presentation.. Even the core of the motor structure has been machined out, to allow a packing of fiber glass to absorb any sound reflected behind the cone/cap area! . The devil is in the details, and this one is possessed. If you want to hear the instrument and/or the amp, THIS is the speaker to go with.. This is the new “guitar version” with the molded in dust cap removed, and a Celestion acoustically transparent/open weave dust cap used to let out just the right amount of midrange and top end directly out of the coil/core area.. Other models will include the 1 piece integrated cone and cap.. Others will have the cloth surround. I can also offer a hi fi version with a butylene rubber surround for the ultimate hi-fi version of this speaker.. Here’s some good info: Frame- stamped steel magnetic composition- anisotropic samarium cobalt slurry Hook up- standard spade terminals Core- vented/machined hollow Spider- treated tyextile/ high compliance Voice Coil- Kraft paper wrapped kapton Coil Diameter 2 Core- machined out/ packed with fiber glass Windings- pure copper/short winding height like OEM/ fine wire for more turns Cone- Altec 755 Profile- curve-linear Body- smooth, but with the twin rib stiffeners Surround- all paper Dust Cap- open weave textile response- 50-12.5KHz Power-50 watts RMS (conservatively) Impedance-16 ohms SPL- 94dB That’ll give you guys a good idea how they are built, and what they sound like. You guys know what this stuff is.. So, if you’ve tried everything else without satisfaction, you just want to get the best right off the top, or you are just curious and need a KILLER speaker for that special combo, then here ya’ go! ANY questions or concerns, just ask Thanks Guys. The item “8 SPEAKER ALTEC WESTERN ELECTRIC 755 PARTS AND MATERIALS WIDE RANGE GUITAR SPEA” is in sale since Saturday, February 20, 2021.
