Here’s a very cool late 1968 to early 1969 Tele. The serial number dates it to 68 as does the body with the diagonal rout between the bridge and neck pickup. The neck is undated , however it’s original to the guitar , and the machine heads have been replaced. The bridge pickup was replaced before I bought it , however it sounds great , I believe the neck pickup is original. The guitar was oversprayed in the 1980’s before I purchased it , so the blonde factory finish is peeking through in some places , I’ve never tried to remove the overspray . It is very light , one of lightest teles I’ve ever owned . Only selling to pay down debt since I retired.
