Fender Telecaster Custom Natural 1978 Pre-Owned

The 1978 Fender Telecaster Custom in Natural is a late-CBS-era classic. This example arrives in excellent condition with an original hardshell case.

Built on a solid ash body with a gloss Natural polyester finish, it features a chunky 1970s maple neck with either maple or rosewood fingerboard, bullet truss rod, and three-bolt Micro-Tilt neck plate. The electronics pair a Seth Lover-designed Wide Range humbucker in the neck with a traditional single-coil Telecaster bridge pickup—a configuration that delivers warm, bright, jangly tones across its range. Controls follow a Les Paul-style setup: independent volume and tone for each pickup plus a three-way toggle switch. The six-saddle bridge and Fender-stamped tuning machines complete the package.

A versatile instrument favored by serious players for its blend of vintage Fender character and enhanced tonal flexibility. Ideal for anyone seeking an authentic, road-ready 1970s Telecaster.
