   A 1973 Fender Telecaster  

Was run over by a car. It broke the body into several pieces, and severed it from the neck. I bought it as a basket case. Replace the body with an ash body from the Warmath company. I don't know if the neck is an original Fender... there was no decal... but it looks like one, so I carved the famous Fender Telecaster logo into it. I've never seen this type of massive Tele bridge before... but it says "Fender" on it... and it does give remarkable sustain for a Tele. I had the bridge gold plated and replaced all the other hardware (including the neck pickup cover & neck mounting plate) with gold... hence the name "Golden Girl".
