Fender Deluxe 8 with original Fender black poly finish, original case in excellent condition, with custom D2F cover also.
The guitar is in “excellent-plus†condition. One small ding and a small, very superficial scratch on front apron (see photos) and very minimal pitting on legs.
Pots are clean, as is blend wheel.
To the best of my knowledge, this black poly finish was offered as an option in the mid-70s, and the hex shaped tuner buttons date it as being made between1968 and about 1981. So, I believe this Deluxe 8 would have been made mid-70s to about 1981.
PayPal friends/family or cashier check would be fine.
Sorry, I’m not interested in trades of any kind.
(If someone can get photo #2,5,6 and 7 to rotate, feel free. Usually I can manage photos fine but these I couldn't)
Thanks for looking.

On the hangtag, "DC 4674" likely means date code 46th week of 1974.
That's in beautiful condition. I have a '63 that looks like it's been dragged behind a tour bus for a few exits. |
