The now discontinued American Original series offers all the vintage elements that you want with some subtle modern tweaks for playability. This particular Tele feels alive with a bell like ring and impressive touch sensitivey. The neck was sanded down by the previous owner for a natural feel. Wow! Buy it before I do. This could be your do it all axe. Comes with a tweed Fender/G&G hardshell case, COA, and other case candy.
