Plenty of high end features in a hotrod Tele. Huge sounds from the dual P90 pickups. Action is on the low side of medium on the slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck with a 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets. The 27" scale feels comfortable and natural to the player. Hardtail bridge with a string-through-body design and individual saddles. Split shaft tuners make for easy string changes. Synthetic bone nut.
This guitar can not be sold as new due to the guitar being professionally refurbished by MIRC in Franklin, TN. The original serial number has been replaced with a new serial number to track the guitar through MIRCs system. It has also been stamped "used" on the back of the headstock. There is a visible repair on the area the right arm would rest on the top. The repair is smooth and does not effect tone or comfort of playing
This guitar has been professionally set up by one of MIRC's top-notch techs. Once it arrived in our shop, it was tweaked just a bit more. Every player is different and some may want to change the setup to reflect their own playing style. When buying any guitar online, it is always wise to factor in the cost of having the instrument set up by a local tech to meet your own preferences.
This guitar has never been owned by a consumer. There is no fret wear, sweat stains, or weird smell to worry about. It has traveled from the factory that manufactured it to the company that ordered it to MIRC, where it was refurbished, to our shop. The customer who buys it from us will be the first consumer to own it.
The differences between buying a refurbished guitar and a new guitar are the warranty (there is no factory warranty on the guitar--it has the same risks associated with buying a used guitar), the new serial number, and THE PRICE. We feel the benefits of having an expert tech assess, repair, and thoroughly set up the guitar along with the reduced price far overshadow the lack of a factory warranty. Please contact us with any questions about refurbished guitars in general or this guitar specifically.
