If you are looking for a Tele with ultimate playing fun and absolute top sound, ...here we go! This Late 50's Telecaster from Todd Krause definitely deserves full marks in every category. With its ideal weight of 3170 grams and the extremely comfortable “D” profile as well as a 9.5'' fingerboard radius the guitar is simply fantastic in the hand, making you want to whizz over the wonderfully figured maple fingerboard with the proven Narrow/Tall frets. There really are no words for the appearance of this magnificent piece. Classic Black finish with a white pickguard, finished with a fantastic Heavy Relicing in which masterbuilder Todd Krause has really outdone himself. Lacquer abrasion, hairline cracks, major and minor blemishes, as well as a partly greasy and in places matt vintage patina that couldn't be more detailed. The whole thing is enhanced by a beautiful AAA flame mapleneck. And then there's the sound! Already very loud, direct and resonant when played dry! On the amp it is such a joy to play that you'll never want to pick up another Tele again. This is thanks to a “Handwound Twisted Tele” pickup on the neck and a “Handwound Broadcaster” pickup on the bridge. Clean wonderfully bell-like, full and twangy. But what you want most is to play the guitar distorted! How fat, smacky and roasty can a Tele actually be? You don't need to be afraid to play Heavy Metal with this awesome piece. This Tele has everything you could wish for. The previous owner upgraded the riders to Glendales (originals included). Besides that we can offer you the fabulous Masterbuilt in original and mint condition with a juicy extra portion of fire.
