FENDER TELECASTER w CASE 1983 - Fullerton Era
Brand: Fender
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
My own 1983 Fender Telecaster, made in the Fullerton factory, complete with case/key/tags/cloth/allen keys etc. It's all-original, aside from a couple of reversible mods noted below (the original parts are included). I've owned this for many years and have enjoyed playing it very much.
It's in excellent overall condition - it's only been used in the studio - there are a couple of small chips in the body paintwork and some scuffs and scratches as you might expect from a used guitar. It had a very easy life for its first two decades or so - I bought it in as-new condition in the early 2000s from someone who'd kept it in the case under his bed, so you're buying a 32 year-old guitar that's only had 12 years' light studio use.
I took it to Xperience Guitars in Nottingham a couple of years ago for a full pro set-up and some improvements - Switchcraft jack socket, new 4 way selector switch for extra stacked 'humbucking' single coil option - the original parts are included with the guitar. It plays beautifully and sounds great - the neck is beautiful.
Additional fault description, courtesy of our resident guitar perfectionist, Joel:
I'm only selling as I have another vintage Tele to fund - I've barely-played this one since I picked up a battered '76 Tele a year or so back which became my go-to guitar - never thought I'd part with this one, but the time's come.
Serial Number E310646.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."
DAVID WRENCH
“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON
Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."
JOSH LLOYD-WATSON & TOM MCFARLAND - JUNGLE
“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
