Fender Telecaster Deluxe 1974

1974 Fender Telecaster Deluxe in cool and very period all black finish. Originally introduced in the early 1970s, the Fender Telecaster Deluxe quickly gained popularity among musicians seeking a versatile and powerful electric guitar. Renowned players such as Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, and Mike Campbell have all utilized the Telecaster Deluxe, solidifying its status as a timeless classic in the world of electric guitars.

Electronics are all original, and original frets are low but playable. Medium weight at 3770g. The guitar is mostly all-original, with only minor changes. The finish has been slightly sanded on the front of the neck for a more satin feel. Rear of neck is untouched. Toggle switch has been replaced, which has necessitated some routing in the pickguard, covered up with a Gibson-style “poker chip”. The toggle switch cavity has also been shielded with foil. Tuners have also been replaced with newer, also original Fender, items.

Includes newer case.
