Cushmic Sounds is pleased to offer on consignment this rather cool, vintage 1971 Fender Telecaster featuring its original 'reinstalled' Fender "F" logo Bigsby Tremolo, finished in original 3-tone sunburst Nitro.
 
NOTE: At some point, this Tele was converted to a "string- thru" setup consisting of a traditional ashtray bridge and added rear ferrules. The neck cavity was also previously routed to accomodate a full size humbucker. These modifications have since been professionally reversed and repaired, bringing this beauty back to its original factory form.
