Fender Telecaster / Fender '52 Vintage Reissue Tele / 1997 / Copper / Guitar
A classic guitar in a super rare color! Made in very limited numbers along with a companion black finished model for one year only. Fairly uncommon on the used market. All of the specs are quality American vintage. The ash body delivers a bright and airy tone that Tele players love. The one piece maple neck features a 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage style frets. Dual American Vintage single coil pickups dish out the twang and snap that a good Tele is known for. The pickups are hooked to the stock vintage style wiring. The original style 3 saddle string through bridge is essential for good sustain. Vintage Kluson style tuners keep it rock solid. Changed strap buttons. The copper metallic is both retro and futuristic at the same time. A great look. One of the hippest finishes and very hard to find! Cool vintage vibe!
This is a good feeling and sounding Tele. The small frets make for easy chording. The neck is straight and the action good. All electronics work fine and the pickups sound great. This is a solid used example in overall VG-EX condition. It shows normal wear for its age includinglight to moderate pick and clearcoat scratches and light to moderate indents and dings. The hardware shows some corrosion. Normal stuff for a player. Comes in a Fender tweed case.
The 52 Reissue is a classic. This rare copper finish example is even cooler. No longer available and part of a very limited run, you may be hard pressed to find another.
