Fender Telecaster 1974 Blonde #604167

$4,821.00

Description

A vintage Fender Telecaster manufactured in the mid-1970s has arrived in stock. The color is Blonde, and it weighs 3.83kg.

Based on the serial number, it appeared to be manufactured in 1975, but the pot date was "3047405," so it is likely that it was made between 1974 and 1975. There is no date marking on the neck, but there is a stamp from "Armenta," who was involved in neck manufacturing during Fender's early years.

The combination of an ash body (though it is also possible it is alder, as the grain is not transparent; we ask for your understanding as it is difficult to determine definitively), a slightly thicker C-grip maple neck, and a maple fretboard, along with the 4-point neck joint, is exactly the classic configuration—one of the reasons for the popularity of Telecasters from this period.

The uniquely shaped Schaller F-key pegs, the joint plate with F engraving (with black cushioning below), and the double string guide are among the distinctive features seen during this era.

Since we have replaced the frets and nut at our shop, it can be played hard just like a new guitar. The pickups and pots appear to be original, so we have left them as is. We have repaired this vintage guitar so that players who want to use vintage guitars casually feel most satisfied.

While the color is somewhat difficult to achieve with relic finishes, considering the era, the top is surprisingly clean. It would look great if played on stage. Once you play it, you can hear the woody texture characteristic of the 1970s coming through in the sound. We would love for those who want to use it hard to get this guitar.

・If "Original" or "Replacement" are not explicitly stated, we do not make definitive claims regarding specifications or condition at our shop.

・Regarding the truss rod, from a product protection standpoint, we only check up to approximately 45 degrees in both the tightening and loosening directions. (When the notation "Plenty of room" is indicated, it shows that there is approximately 45 degrees of room in both directions.)
