1973 Fender Telecaster Custom Blonde Maple Neck w/OSHC 100% All-Original

Offered here is a superb 1973 Fender Telecaster Custom in its original Blonde finish, complete with its original black Tolex hard shell case and hang tag. This guitar is 100% all original, including the maple neck, black pickguard, original ashtray bridge cover, and the factory three-bolt neck plate with bullet truss rod, a feature standard on the ’72-81 Telecaster Custom series.

This model features the distinctive electronics layout introduced in 1972: the neck pickup is the Seth Lover designed “Wide Range” humbucker and the bridge retains the classic Fender single-coil pickup, giving this Tele a rare combination of twang and thickness, versatility and character. It weighs 8.6 lbs, which is in line with average weights for this era.

Visually, the guitar is in excellent condition for its age, the finish remains clean and presentable throughout, with only modest edge-wear (notably near the input jack) consistent with careful use over time. Structurally it is in pristine condition: the neck is straight, the frets remain in good shape, and the electronics and hardware show no signs of modification or repair. This is a true collectible piece that also presents and plays beautifully.

Whether you are a dedicated collector or someone seeking a top-tier vintage Tele all original, this 1973 Telecaster Custom Blonde represents an outstanding opportunity.

It ships to the continental United States and select international destinations.
