it's tastefully done, and the checking on the body is some of the best we've seen.  We upgraded the rosewood fretboard to \"Sort for Dark\", and they definitely found a super dark piece of rosewood for this guitar.  Make note of the pickguard in the photos as well - it's very vintage looking, unlike most tortoise shell today.  Also, if you're looking for a lightweight Tele, you've found it - this one weighs only 73.3 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-wound '63 Tele pickups (normally a significant upgrade) produce a rich ’60s tone, which still has the twang that Tele players love, with a bit more roundness and midrange that suites many styles.  These are meant to be true replications of the original pickups used in 1963, with Alnico 2 magnets, enamel wire and vintage stagger.  It's all the bite with warmth to spare.  We went with the modern Tele wiring and added the Greasebucket tone control which \u003cspan\u003eadds a new dimension to your tone.  The effect is that when rolled down, the tone pot reduces the high frequencies, but does not add bass.  This makes it a more versatile guitar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include a vintage Tele bridge with steel saddles, period correct tuning machines, bone nut and a beautiful tortoise shell pickguard.  Also includes a Blonde hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCome to Truetone Music to check out this amazing Tele, or order here right now for it to be sent straight to your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # CZ585339\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.4 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart # 9239990824\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor:  Olympic White with Matching Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard:  Tortoise Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: 2 Piece Select Alder, Sort for Lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTint: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Round Lam Rosewood, Sort for Dark\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDots: Micarta White\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 63 Strat \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:  .830\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:  1.00\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup:  Custom Shop Hand-Wound '63 Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003cspan\u003e  Custom Shop Hand-Wound '63 Tele\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWiring: Modern Tele with Greasebucket Tone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Chrome\/Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Aluminum Knurled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Vintage 58 -
