Here’s a solid 2001 Fender Standard Tele in classic black that’s held up really well over the years. It’s got a handful of honest dings and scuffs—mostly around the pickguard and a few spots on the body—but nothing that gets in the way of what this guitar does best. The gloss still pops under the lights, and the wear just adds a little character.

It was recently given a full setup: the neck’s straight, action is dialed in low, and it plays incredibly smooth all the way up the fretboard. Classic Tele snap and punch are all here, making it a reliable workhorse whether you’re tracking, gigging, or just jamming at home.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play.

Buying direct from me

I bought this guitar, inspected it, photographed it, dialed it in, and I'll be the one packing it. If something isn't right when it arrives, you're not filing a ticket — you're emailing the person who put it in the box.

Same guitar, same packing, same insurance, same 3-day return window you'd get anywhere else I list it. It just costs less here, because there's no platform fee in the price.

Questions before you buy? Ask me anything — more photos, a specific measurement, or anything the listing doesn't cover.
