Fortunately the Telecaster remained, for the most part, the same as its pre-CBS cousins. The changes were subtle, but much of the goodness of the older Tele's was still there. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis lightweight ‘66 is an excellent player with a decent amount of fret life.It weighs in at 6 lb 14 oz, and it's lightweight and well balanced. The condition is nice also, the Olympic White finish is crisp and unfaded, but is marked by a sizable ding on the face and several on the sides, just enough wear that you won't be afraid to take it out to your next gig. It also has attractive weather checking contributes to the vintage vibe! \u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eThere is a small chip at the base of the neck (shown in pic) that appears to be the result of over tightening the neck plate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003eThis guitar has been upgraded with the \"modern\" wiring done by removing the mud circuit  (We can restore it if you like mud).
