Built by CPJ Guitars. It looks like a 60 year old guitar. Plays like a dream. For a real Road worn Fender Tele, be prepared to shell out around 4500.00. I have way too many Teles. I have a lot invested in this instrument and I am just casting about to see if there are any interesting trades. Very partial to Archtop f hole electrics, Bass guitars and f style mandolins.
