| Modifications/Repairs: | The body has been refinished. At some point the body had a swimming pool route, which was filled in. The diagonal wire route was also filled in, and is slightly visible under the finish. The bridge pickup route was also slightly reshaped. The volume pot and bridge pickup are not original, and the neck pickup has been wax potted. Various other solder joints have been redone as well. A previous owner has filed an intonation line into the B/E saddle. |

| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Fender Telecaster shows nice aging, with chips and light marks on the refinished body. The neck is glossy and smooth, with a small ding on the back at the first fret. |
| Serial Number: | 98220 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action. The neck is very straight even with the truss rod loosened; the guitar sets up very well with 10 gauge strings, however lighter strings would not be recommended. The narrow frets are medium height with moderate play wear. The neck stamp, tone pot date code, and serial number date to 1963. |
