{"product_id":"858562","title":"Fender USA VINTAGE Telecaster '73 Black\/M","description":"The Telecaster debuted as the Broadcaster in 1950 and has since reigned alongside the Stratocaster as a signature Fender guitar model. It's a classic electric guitar, with not only Fender's original model but also models inspired by it being produced by various manufacturers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The guitar we have in stock this time was shipped around 1973 and is a wonderful piece with custom specifications: alder body\/black color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The overall weight is approximately 3.6 kg. The alder body was chosen for the custom black finish. The cool look of the black finish, maple fingerboard, and white 3-ply pickguard (replaced from the original) is one of its charms. Below the pickguard, in the front pickup position, there is a recessed section in the wood to accommodate a humbucking pickup, which has now been beautifully repaired. Overall, there is weather checking, paint chipping and dents from use, belt buckle marks, four-point jack plate attachment marks, and tarnish on the metal parts, giving it a wonderful vintage guitar feel. The bridge unit has been replaced with a Fender \"Road Worn\" relic finish. The jack plate has also been replaced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck and fingerboard are made of one piece of maple. The headstock has some fading due to age, and the fingerboard and back of the neck have minor scratches and chipped paint, but like the body, the guitar is in good condition. The tuners appear to have been replaced at one time, but have now been replaced with the original Fender F tuners. While there is some inconsistency in the winding, they function well. Overspray was applied during a previous refret. The frets and nut were replaced in our shop, boasting excellent playability. The headstock is 16.0mm thick. The nut width is 41.4mm. The neck features a sturdy shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical system]\u003cbr\u003e The controls include a high-pass filter that retains treble when the volume is turned down, and current wiring that allows for a pickup mix position. It features a 3-way pickup selector (neck\/mix\/bridge), volume, and tone. The pickups have been replaced with Fender Vintage '62 Reissue Telecaster pickups. The volume pot and output jack have also been replaced. The alder body's distinctive sound, with a clear and warm sound in the neck position and a crisp yet pleasant overtone in the bridge position, offers a distinctive contrast to the standard ash body specs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Fender black Tolex hard case, although quite worn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.6kg\u003cbr\u003e Body Material: Alder\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material\/Scale: Maple 1 piece\/648mm (25-1\/2inch)\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard\/Fret Marker\/Radius: Maple 1 piece\/Black dot\/184.15mm (7.25inch)\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width\/Fret Size (width): 41.4mm (replaced)\/2.2mm (replaced)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 22.5mm\/23.6mm\/24.4mm\u003cbr\u003e Capacitor: Dilectron CircleD 100V w\/High pass CAP\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): (replaced) Fender Vintage 62 Reissue Telecaster Single coil, 7.1kΩ\/6.4kΩ\u003cbr\u003e *The DC resistance value of the pickup is measured through the control section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"Fender USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43245125468273,"sku":"858562","price":3862.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/VINTAGE_Telecaster__73_Black_M_01.jpg?v=1778827380","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/858562","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
