1978 Fender Telecaster Wine
This clean 1978 Fender Telecaster in original Wine red finish was the pride of a local player's collection until his recent passing. This was the guitar he kept in its original case because it was a little too clean to play.

Specifications: total weight = 8lbs 3oz. Neck dimensions are 1 5/8" nut width, first fret neck depth = .88", 12th fret neck depth = .97".
