A lightly-played "light relic" from Dave's Guitar Shop in La Crosse, WI. One owner (your's truly), bought in 2009. Shoreline Gold is one of the best colors. So good that I don't understand why someone would want one with 1/4 the paint gone (no offense "heavy relic" owners).
This one is a light relic. The clearcoat has the vintage look. The neck has some small areas of wear on the back side. The finish is dullled/swirled appearance, but there are no deep scratches, dings, dents, or gouges. The hardware has the tarnished look of years of life. Overall, the light relic looks like the guitar of the era kept by someone who took extraordinarily good care of it.
This is only one of the reasons I love Dave's Guitars. Dave has a lot of Custom Shop relics on his walls, but they don't all look like they have been drug down a gravel road. He also has the custom colors that you can't get at "guitar super store". Even though this is a '63 model, it has some modern appointments that many like, including the modern, non-"dark" front-pickup wiring, larger 9.5" radius, and the medium-jumbo frets. I like the original '63 specs too, but it's nice to have a choice.
Though I love this guitar, I only played it about 25 times. It has never left the house. We spent some time together working on the early Led Zep solos (which some people know were played on a Tele, not a Les). This guitar has medium action, which I prefer. However, it can really shred! When you play this guitar, the nostalgia of the early 60's pours in, and you feel like--and are--a better player.
As the pictures detail, this guitar has all the original stuff, including the COA, hang tags, and receipt of purchase.
