Just arrived is this very nice original 1953 Telecaster. The only thing changed is frets. The guitar is re fretted but no finish or other work was done in conjunction with the re fret. This guitar is from early 1953 and comes with its original thermometer case also in nice condition. The weight is 7 pounds 11 ounces. This one is original with all original parts, original finish, and case. Some people like these and there is a book all about these guitars too!
