For sale or trade: a Fender American Modified '60s Telecaster – the perfect crossroads of vintage feel and modern performance. This guitar is built for players who love the classic 7.25" radius and vintage vibe but don’t want to sacrifice the benefits of modern hardware and tone. It delivers serious versatility, rock-solid stability, and tone for days.
This Tele features Fender’s vintage-style fingerboard radius with tall frets for smooth chording and expressive bends, paired with a satin-finished maple neck that feels broken-in right out of the case. The neck profile is Fender’s comfortable late-’60s carve, and the modern poly finish offers durability without getting sticky or glossy.
Under the hood, you’ll find a killer set of high-output Twisted Tele pickups – offering the spank and twang you expect from a Tele, but with added clarity and output that’s closer to a Strat in the neck position. It’s the best of both worlds. Sperzel locking tuners round it out for quick string changes and reliable tuning night after night.
Cosmetically, the guitar is in great shape with minimal signs of use – just light playwear, no abuse. Includes the original vintage-style Fender hardshell case.
Looking to trade? I’m open to trade offers. Let me know what you have – I would be interested in other guitars, amps, or gear. I may also be open to high-end woodworking hand tools (Lie Nielsen, Veritas, Bridge City, etc), high-quality Swiss, Japanese, or German-made watches, or potentially hunting items.
