Item Description
Serial: R136357 Listed 4 days ago
Hello all! This is a sale my personal Custom Shop HR '53 Tele. It's unfortunately lived in its case since I bought it in April 2024, never really finding a place in my player lineup. It's basically in the same shape as when I purchased it from Tone Shop Guitars here in Dallas, TX, and I'd love for her to find a new home.

Upon request I can include additional photos, and answer any additional questions. The video link was actually my inspiration for buying the guitar, FF to position 11m57s, and you'll see Cooper's great review. Thanks for looking!
