For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this very clean, all-original 1977 Fender Telecaster Deluxe—a standout example of one of Fender’s most distinctive and forward-thinking CBS-era designs.

Introduced in the early 1970s, the Telecaster Deluxe represented a bold evolution of the Tele platform, pairing the familiar Tele body with a Strat-style headstock, expanded controls, and a set of powerful Wide Range humbuckers designed by Seth Lover. By 1977, the model had fully come into its own, offering a unique blend of Fender clarity and humbucker warmth that set it apart from both traditional Teles and Gibson-style instruments of the era.

This particular guitar is a remarkably well-preserved example, showing less-than-average wear for its age and presenting as a guitar that has been carefully owned and sparingly used. The finish, hardware, and plastics remain notably clean, with only light, honest wear consistent with gentle playing rather than heavy gigging. It appears to be all original throughout.

The neck offers the comfortable, slightly substantial feel typical of late-’70s Fender construction, with a smooth-playing profile that fills the hand without feeling cumbersome. Original frets remain in excellent condition, and the guitar plays effortlessly with low action and no dead spots. Acoustically, it resonates well, and plugged in, the Wide Range humbuckers deliver a clear, authoritative voice—tight and articulate on the low end, with a rich midrange and open highs that retain Fender character while offering far more output and girth than a traditional single-coil Tele.

One of the highlights of this example is its exceptional completeness. The guitar includes its original Fender hardshell case, along with the serial-number–matched owner’s manual—a seldom-seen survival. It also retains its original bridge cover, further underscoring the level of originality and care this instrument has received over the decades.

Altogether, this is a collector-grade 1977 Telecaster Deluxe that balances vintage authenticity with real-world playability. Whether you’re a player drawn to the unmistakable sound of Wide Range humbuckers or a collector seeking a clean, complete example from Fender’s CBS era, this Tele Deluxe represents an increasingly scarce and highly compelling offering.
