$$$ It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing. The frets are in perfect condition and polished to shine like a mirror, it is truly stage or studio ready/worthy. Including New Strings,  Perfect Intonation, Truss Rod Adjustment and Low Action Read Our Feedback and Rest Assured, The Dude Abides!



Up for grabs here at The Guitar Dude we have this clean and mean, Telecastin' Machine, that floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee. This semi-hollow, gunslinger special was crafted at Tokai-Gakki, Japan around 2003 and features a toneful and resonant, well crafted ash body married with a perfect and killer one piece maple neckThe reissues that are produced in Japan are some of the best re-iterations of classic Fender guitars ever to be produced. In many cases, the reissues manage to surpass the originals, in terms of many factors including wood quality, weight, attention to detail and overall craftsmanship with this particular case being no exception. ULTRA Lightweight and lively, this Tele delivers top-shelf Thinline tonality and a comfortable playing ease that'll easily make her your main squeeze night after night. This piece speaks the language of Telecaster well, and does so with a fluency and toneful accuracy that will please. Authentically voiced, wide-range humbucking pickups, vintage-style hardware and top quality woods combine to culminate a playing experience that is sublime. This piece is in excellent, preowned condition with minimal playwear and only one ding on the top that I can see. Here's a golden opportunity to get ahold of an exceptional piece that is in equally exceptional condition. Monday's pick of the day, and truly cream of the crop, look no further for complete, Thinline satisfaction...only at The Guitar Dude.


This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
