Fender Telecaster Sunburst 1978

The Fender Telecaster is an essential chapter in the story of modern music. Its timeless simplicity laid the foundation for decades of innovation, and this 1978 Fender Telecaster stands as a beautifully preserved piece of that legacy.

The grain of the ash body shows elegantly through its 3-Color Sunburst finish, which has naturally aged into a rich chocolate hue around the edges. Despite some dings and scratches on the body, this Tele remains in excellent condition for its age and plays wonderfully, with plenty of life left in the frets.

Both pickups are original, and the pots date to 1979. The serial number indicates 1978, though it was common in the late 70s for Fender to assemble guitars from parts spanning different years. True to its era, this Tele has a solid, weighty feel at 4.66 kg, delivering that unmistakable 70s tone and character in full force.

Includes a hardshell case with TFOA passport.
