The bridge is a Fender stamped chrome six saddle bridge, which offers fine tuning of intonation on every string.

The neck is super clean especially on the back and the original frets have been nicely dressed with plenty of life left. Plugged in the guitar has that unmistakable Tele tone – the neck pickup has lots of character and the bridge unit delivers the expected spank and bite.

This guitar has had a refret performed by industry respected luthier - Brad Webb.

The headstock sports the original Fender "F" tuning machines which turn smoothly and hold pitch well. The original logo is intact and flawless, and the neck pocket is nice and snug. And this is a 3 bolt Fender neck. This is a solid, well constructed instrument.

Overall it is a fine sounding '77 Tele in good playing condition, with a good set of pickups that deliver that classic Tele punch & twang.
