Early 1990's Chandler "Teleblaster"
A super Tele. Condition is Excellent. My own personal special use Tele, used a few times on a few certain Country gigs about 10 years ago and packed away stored ever since.
Loaded with early 1990 Fender Squier Tele pickups, down to about 5.5K and KILLER Tele tone more dynamic than Fenders and Chandlers that run as high as 8K (usuallay around 6.5K). I have the original Chandler pickups packed safely away from the elements, that I will gladly reinstall and keep the Squire Tele pickups myself !
This Chandler color is nigh identical to Fender Custom Shop's Capri Orange. I don't have a clue what Chandler called it.
There are 2 major elements that make old guitars have an alive sound: The first is being played and those vibrations doing some "magic" as the wood ages; And second is the wood aging. You get about 18 years of aged wood since the guitar was born, plus the unknown age of the wood used. Back in the early 1990's, aged wood was still rather affordable and used by company's like Chandler who knew what they were doing in the guitar world.
I put an aftermarket single ply pickguard on this Tele so I could drill holes for the front pickup height adjusting screws I install on all my personal Teles. The dullness on the front is because I put a quick new coat of protecting polish on it and did't get the top wiped down before I had to take the pics here.
The neck profile is "C", a bit flattened on the back, with a great Tele feel.
A few small dings around the butt area. I'm a bit captured by the music / spirit when playing, particularly when I was 10 years younger. My own personal guitars are players not show pieces.
