The neck pickup is an undated 1960s black-bottom Fender pickup. The bridge pickup came from another 1960 Telecaster and is correct for this guitar and year. The pickguard is an aged reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has been beautifully refinished in “Fullerton” Red by Joe Riggio. I chose this color to replicate an original example in the same shade currently offered by Carter Vintage Guitars, which they describe as DuPont Red. Joe believes the actual color to be Huntsman Red from the 1956 Lincoln DuPont color chart, a shade that collectors have come to call “Fullerton Red.” Joe gave the finish a tasteful, light relic treatment that looks fantastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has been professionally set up and plays and sounds great. Both pickups sound excellent. The only issue at present is that I am getting both the bridge and neck pickups in the bridge switch position. It appears to be a minor wiring\/switch issue, and I will have my tech rectify it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt some point in its history, the body had a narrow channel routed beneath the pickguard, likely to accommodate a switch or similar modification. The route has been professionally filled and is completely invisible with the guard installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease see the attached unboxing\/disassembly video, in which I take the guitar apart and examine the original components as it came to me. It provides a good look at the body, neck, electronics, hardware, and other details before the restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fantastic-looking and playing pre-CBS 1960 Telecaster with a substantial complement of original parts, an excellent slab-board neck, and a beautifully executed Riggio refinish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLater hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Dj5Q-7GI1uY?is=vhRlSrR0rvNTqWiB\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Dj5Q-7GI1uY?is=vhRlSrR0rvNTqWiB\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reverend Guitar Man","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48901440569518,"sku":null,"price":16999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/5039\/3902\/files\/184EB43A-8DB0-4BF8-8270-DD066666C6FE.jpg?v=1786408891","url":"https:\/\/reverend-guitar-man.myshopify.com\/products\/untitled-aug10_16-50-50","provider":"Reverend Guitar Man","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
