“This 85 Telecaster sports all original electronics and hardware with factory coil split for a wide variety of tones. These guitars are highly sought after due to their incredible playability – easily on par with the upcoming American made Fenders of the late 80’s and early 90’s. This one has had the body refinished many years ago, in a satin metallic that shifts from green to a purple hue at certain angles. It’s very cool without being too flashy and the green is reminiscent of some of the finish colors on the HM guitars of that time. The System 1 tremolo is I entirely intact and functional, adding another level of versatility to the guitar.”
