This Forrest Custom Guitars B-Bender Tele is in excellent overall cosmetic condition. The finish has been relic-ed by the builder and includes finish checking as well as body and neck aging. This really adds to the vibe of this instrument and gives it a very lived in feel. The neck profile is a soft C shape with plenty of chunkiness and feels extremely comfortable in hand. The neck has been finished in a vintage tint and looks incredible. The frets show some signs of play wear (nothing serious) and have tons of life left in them. This guitar has been professionally set up and plays outstanding up and down the fingerboard. The Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickup rings like a bell and sounds fantastic with both a clean or dirty amp. This guitar has a hidden neck pickup underneath the finish which cannot be seen even with the pickguard off. This pickup has been disconnected from the potentiometers and could be reconnected if desired. This guitar is exceptionally loud and resonant unplugged. The Forrest B-Bender unit works flawlessly and is very smooth to operate. It can be seen through the clear plexiglass panel on the back of the instrument (see photos).
This guitar previously belonged to a great "country" player and if you search the interwebs hard enough you can find this exact instrument included in his Rig Rundown video. This is an excellent, super solid B Bender Telecaster style guitar that is very lightweight, stays in tune and is ready for 1000 more gigs. Oh, and the finish is killer, too... A gem of a guitar shipped out safely and promptly from our little shop here in Clarksville, Tennessee, to your front door.
