Vintage Restorations

Restoration: 1964 Telecaster (Blonde)

This sorry looking Tele has awesome tone from is original bridge pickup and is nice and light the body is just under 3lbs. It was originally blonde but painted red (without removing the hardware) and then black, and unfortunately routed for a humbucker in the neck position.

Update: While I was preping this for a Blonde I noticed that the orginal Blonde was a much whiter Blonde as some older Blondes were so I am refinishing to the same orginal color. I mixed and tested the paint color prior to removing all the orginal finish to match it correctly.
