Item Description
Here for sale we have a Fender Special Edition Lite Ash Telecaster in Natural finish. Made in Korea in 2007, this guitar was part of a limited run in the mid '00s that was designed to be lightweight and feature-heavy. A bolt-on construction is employed, and comprises a Lite Ash body, highly figured Birdseye Maple neck and matching 22 fret fingerboard with attractive Abalone dot inlays. Chrome hardware is fitted including a traditional three-brass-barrel saddle bridge and sealed tuning machines. A pair of Seymour Duncan AlNiCo Pro 2 single-coil pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way blade switch, master volume and master tone controls.
The Birdseye Maple neck plays beautifully, with a profile which might be described as a moderately-sized 'C' shape, well suited to both chordal and melodic playing styles. Certainly, the profile is substantial enough to inspire confidence when playing chunky chords and rhythm parts, yet is slim enough to facilitate articulate lead lines and solos. The traditional Fender 9.5" fingerboard radius works with the medium jumbo frets to ensure that string bending and vibrato techniques are an effortless and breezy affair. The Birdseye Maple combined with the Abalone dot inlays adds a real sense of luxury to the playing experience and helps the instrument to stand out from the crowd.
The pair of Seymour Duncan AlNiCo Pro 2 single-coil pickups installed in this instrument deliver bright, crystalline clean tones and searing crunch sounds, just as we expect from a Telecaster. There is plenty of traditional Tele 'Twang' from the bridge pickup; perfect for country and blues licks, whilst the neck position is nice and smooth for your lead lines and solos. The control layout is as simple and effective as ever, responding well to small changes to ensure that you can blend into any musical setting with ease. An exciting limited edition model that retains the classic Telecaster vibe whilst managing to feel special and unique.

Luthier Report
Our ID: 1050826229240
Weight: 7.9lbs
Serial: 07076584
Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall good condition. All aspects of the headstock demonstrate light indentation to the edges, and towards the end of the front face. Most notably the treble side face, which features numerous indentations. None of these have chipped the finish to reveal the wood beneath.
Neck: Overall good condition. The rear of the neck demonstrates light to mild scratching and indentations, that can be lightly felt by the hand in playing position. Most notably at the treble side, in line with the 12th fret. The fingerboard's gloss finish demonstrates light to mild scratching throughout, only visible under direct light at certain angles that cannot be felt beneath the strings.
Body: Overall very good condition. All aspects of the body demonstrate light to mild scratching and indentations. Most notably consistent small indentations at the bass side of the front face lower bout. The sides and edges demonstrate a notable indentation to the bass side of the lower bout, near where the forearm rests, as well as surrounding the input jack and to the treble side waist. These markings have all pierced the finish but do not reveal the wood beneath. The rear face demonstrates notable scuff marks to the bass side of the lower but that could not be removed during our cleaning process, with another notable scuff/scratch to the finish at the treble side.
Condition of Frets:
The frets have been subject to a level and recrown. There is moderate material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
Current Set Up:
Truss Rod: Fully functional but stiff to operate. Truss rod tool (4mm hex) not included.
Hardware: Fully functional and very good condition. Light to mild scratching and tarnishing is apparent to the bridge, tuners, pickup cover, control plate and neck plate. Light consistent scratching is apparent to the pickguard.
Structural: No concerns or issues to note.
