  Here's a 1976 Fender Telecaster in Blonde finish. This one is all original and in excellent shape, especially for being nearly 50 years old. It's a two-owner guitar that was played lightly early on, then spent the majority of the next 40-plus years tucked safely under a bed. It is incredibly well-preserved, showing with very light cosmetic wear and the original frets that show very little use. It plays and sounds great.
  Not only does it come with the original hardshell case, but the original bridge cover and owner's manual are also included. Both very cool to have and pretty rare to still be with the guitar after all these years.

Description
