Description on marks on this guitar as follows- It's not at all uncommon for us to receive brand new Fender guitars with small marks in the neck pocket. It's kind of part and parcel of working with bolt on neck instruments finished in Nitrocellulose. Check out any vintage Fender collection from the 50's or 60's and you will see plenty of similar lacquer marks in the neck pocket. This particular Custom Shop 52 Tele is a superb example of an early build 50's telecaster. It offers exceptional playability and plenty of classic tonal character. It's been substantially reduced because of 2 small lacquer cracks in the neck pocket. Please contact us for more information.
