Fender Telecaster 1952 'Blackguard' w Original Thermometer Case

One of my absolute favourite finds, this early 1952 Fender Telecaster was found in the state of Washington USA this year in incredible cosmetic and playing condition with the original frets having little wear.

This particular example features the earlier blend circuit, and has 'TG' (Tadeo Gomez) signatures on both the body and neck. An outstanding example of an early 'blackguard' telecaster.

Comes with its original Baldwin thermometer case, ashtray bridge cover, and a later 50s period strap.
