Fender Telecaster Black (1978)

This vintage 1978 Fender Telecaster in sleek black finish is a true CBS-era classic, offering the signature tone, feel, and style that has defined the Tele for generations. Made in the USA and bearing serial number S853292, it features a solid alder body—common for solid-color finishes of the period—delivering a balanced, focused tone with excellent midrange punch. The striking black finish is paired with a clean white pickguard for a timeless look that stands out on any stage.

This model comes with a bolt-on maple neck and a dark rosewood fingerboard, offering a smooth, comfortable feel and warm response. The 7.25" fingerboard radius and vintage frets are period-correct, providing that classic Fender playability. The guitar retains its original SS pickup configuration with two Fender single-coil pickups, delivering crisp, cutting bridge tones and smooth, round neck sounds. A fixed 3-saddle bridge and string-through-body design provide great sustain and tuning stability.

The electronics are simple and effective, with master volume, master tone, and a 3-way selector switch, giving you everything you need and nothing you don’t.
