Fender American Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster - USA 2000

This is a 2000 Fender American Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster, finished in a thin-skin black nitro lacquer. The guitar exhibits a few light scratches in the nitro finish, which are subtle and difficult to notice. There is one area on the lower horn on the back where the nitro has chipped after a knock of some sort - purely cosmetic. The frets are in excellent condition, allowing for smooth playability up and down the neck without any buzzing or issues. Both the pickups and controls function perfectly, contributing to a reliable and enjoyable performance.

This model is a unique blend of modern playability and vintage charm, featuring a 9.5-inch radius and 6105 frets, along with vintage hardware and finish—a combination typically found only in custom shop models. The guitar is completely stock and weighs a super light 7lbs, making it a very cool option for players who appreciate both classic aesthetics and contemporary features.

Comes in its Fender OHSC with Fender strap and case candy.
