The guitar is in excellent+ condition with the exception of one small ding on the back (see the last picture). Otherwise it looks brand new. Frets look unplayed, and it even comes with all the case candy accessories which appear to have never even been out of the case. Neck is a "large C" profile ... on the chunky side, but not a baseball bat. Full specs from the build sheet are below.
From Fender:
Take a classic Fender® Telecaster®, deck it out customized player-centric features, the finest hand-selected figured woods and custom hand-wound pickups, and you have the American Custom Telecaster. The two-piece select ash body features a contoured neck heel and an NOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish. A one-piece 3A birdseye maple neck features a Large "C" profile, 9.5”-12” compound-radius fingerboard, bi-flex truss rod with headstock adjust, abalone face dots and 22 medium jumbo frets. Both hand-wound Loaded Nocaster® pickups—including the open-top neck pickup—are overwound with #44-gauge wire for rich Telecaster sound, and Fat ’50s wiring yields powerful tone with a transparent bloom. Other features include a three-ply parchment pickguard, strap locks, Sperzel® tuning machines with pearl buttons, bone nut, and American Standard string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
