From the first year of the Fender B-Bender series- USA built Telecaster with factory Parsons-
Green B-Bender. Black finish, maple neck, all original except for replacement pickups (Seymour Duncan STR-3 Quarter Pound Rhythm and Dimarzio Chopper-T Bridge) and black chrome knobs. The pickups are the result of a long search for a slightly hotter, fatter output, while still having classic tele spank, and even output from both pickups. There are a few dings and scuffs, and the neck is well played in, as a result of probably a thousand gigs. Great feel, tone, and action. The Bender mechanism works extremely well, quietly and accurately. A great guitar I'm really going to miss. With nice Fender tweed case. $895 includes shipping east of Ms. River.

| I had a question about "scratches on the control plates"? No, the photos were taken outside, and it's reflections of grass and sky, and me... |

Hey Folks,
These Parson / Green B-Bender guitars are going up in value as they only made them in the original 2 pick up "Amrerican Standard" Telecaster version for the first few years. They went to the 3 pick up "Nashville AM STD" style in 1999/2000. I bought mine new in 1997 and it has been a true work horse. I've made somewhere around $70,000 with it in 10 years. It's been the best single investment I've ever made.
BUMP for a cool Telecaster and a good forumite!

| I saw another post for a guitar with a different style bender that was pretty disparaging about these Parsons/Green benders- I've played a number of bender-equipped guitars and this one is excellent. It stays in tune perfectly, easily tuned, quiet and solid. |
