Top Loader, Dan Smith era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a bloody ripper, very resonant, heading towards the heavy side, but not crazy..at all. Tanline, on the top near the bridge. Would be a great candidate for a Bigsby I reckon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeymour Duncan in the bridge position and neck pickup has been changed too.  Digging that 1 ply pickguard, which was original to this year and model. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso has a brass nut which if you lived through the 1970s you would know adds sustain (haha) Pickup switch is also a replacement. Frets have life. Neck pickup screws are changed to phillips head.  Wear on the back of the neck, that makes it feel, very much, like an old friend. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou say player grade, I say, rock and roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early US standard Telecasters were a return to form for Fender, and I reckon this is a lot of Telecaster for the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSN E321020 Weight 3.9kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52309545419064,"sku":"ET3434","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2689\/3554\/files\/ET34341May2026-090.jpg?v=1777865498","url":"https:\/\/echotone.com.au\/products\/1983-fender-standard-telecaster-usa-white-top-loader-80s-fender-hsc","provider":"Echo Tone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
