For Sale: Extremely Rare Left-Handed 1972 Fender Telecasters
We are thrilled to offer this stunning left-handed 1972 gem. This is a true collector's piece that doesn't just look the part—it delivers the tone you’ve been chasing.
The Specs & DNA:
- Dating: Neck stamp confirms '72, with pots dated '65 and '66.
- Historical Detail: One of the final iterations featuring the classic single string guide.
- Rarity: Left-handed examples from this era are virtually impossible to find. Even among right-handed collectors, this specific period is highly coveted.
- The Tone: Despite the ash body, it avoids the overly compressed "tightness" often associated with mid-70s production. Instead, it offers a remarkably balanced, full-frequency response. You get that signature Tele-style clarity, but with a warm, vintage depth that cuts through the mix with a beautiful, sharp edge.
Condition & Playability: This instrument has been professionally set up and is ready for the stage or the studio. It has been meticulously maintained, with only the essential, non-invasive replacements performed to keep it at peak performance:
- Pro-Refret: Done with wire period-correct to the original. The current frets show 70–80% life remaining, ensuring smooth playability.
- Maintenance: The nut and jack have been replaced for reliability. Otherwise original parts.
- Structural Integrity: The neck is arrow-straight with no twisting. The truss rod operates smoothly in both directions.
- Electronics: Clean and quiet—no scratchy pots here.
Cosmetics: The guitar shows honest, character-building play wear, including some minor surface scratches and light aging/discoloration on the body top. It has clearly been a player's favorite, but it remains free of any major dings, cracks, or deep gouges. Note: One tuning peg knob has a slight bend, but it functions perfectly.
