Tech Notes: This Telecaster plays well with medium action. The frets are thin and low. It has been properly setup and intonated in standard tuning. The guitar is being dated to 1978 based on the neck stamp and not the serial number on the neck plate. The neck plate is likely not original because it dates to 1972.
