The Upper Bout


 


Fender 1958 American Vintage Reissue (AVRI) Telecaster w/ OHSC

The American Vintage Reissue (AVRI) '58 Telecaster harkens back to early 1958, when the Telecaster graduated from its original U-shaped neck profile-a real handful-to a still-large but more comfortable D-shape for its maple neck. Other spot-on early-'58 touches are here too, such as a lightweight ash body, staggered bridge pickup pole magnets, solid steel "barrel" bridge saddles, a single-ply white pickguard, "top-hat" switch tip, flat-top knurled aluminum chrome control knobs and more. 1958 was an important year for the Telecaster because that's when slimmer necks started appearing on the instrument, and when (in early-year models) string-through bridges with solid-steel saddles first showed up, magnifying the guitar's prized signature twang.Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, Fender have completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept-restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more-based on actual vintage guitars. Comes with OHSC.

This is a USED instrument in EXCELLENT condition minus one finish chip on the lower bout where the armpit would rest over as well as a small chip near the lower strap button. If you have any questions about this beautiful tele, feel free to shoot us a message or give us a call at (217) 607-8132.
