Fender - Telecaster Manny’s Limited Run - - Electric guitar - United States - 2004

Fender Telecaster, made in Corona, California, USA, in March 2004 as a limited edition (only 50 made) with exclusive specifications for Manny's Musical Instruments in New York, a historic store where even Hendrix bought his guitars.
Personally purchased before the store’s permanent closure, selected from among the many for its above-average sound (better than many Custom Shop guitars in the store) and great versatility, as it delivers a warm, full sound without sacrificing the classic Tele twang.

This guitar was built to exclusive specifications for Manny's limited run (also branded on the inside) by Fender’s FSR department: a swamp ash body (instead of alder), well-seasoned and exceptionally resonant, finished in two-color Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer with a hard relic treatment. All the hardware is also beautifully oxidized to match the relic finish.
The neck and fingerboard are maple, now a dark blonde from age, with a “Comfort C” profile, 22 “narrow tall” frets, and a 9.5" radius. It features an American Vintage 3-saddle brass bridge.
It comes equipped with fantastic hand-wound '51 Nocaster pickups, which deliver a highly articulate sound true to their name. Designed with the original specifications in mind, they faithfully reproduce the twang of the original Nocaster, with solid low frequencies and clear, balanced mids. The electronics include treble bleed, which ensures that turning down the volume does not affect the mid and high frequencies, preventing the bass from becoming prominent and the sound from getting muddy.

Exceptional condition despite being 22 years old, which has made it even more resonant. Just given a professional setup, including a string change and cleaning of the tuners and electronics.
Manny's Musical Instruments tweed hardshell case included (impossible to find).
