1960's Telestar Electric Guitar in Original 3-Tone Sunburst—a charming vintage instrument manufactured by Kawai, fully restored and ready to play. Since arriving at Clarke Strings & Sound, this guitar has undergone meticulous restoration, including leveled, crowned, and polished frets, thorough cleaning of original electronics and hardware, and the installation of a new output jack. The neck angle has also been professionally shimmed and adjusted to ensure excellent playability.

 

Cosmetic condition is excellent, showing minimal wear with just one small ding on the body back, minor scratches on the neck, and slight corrosion on the hardware. Original features include a beautiful matching headstock and functional tremolo system. Its dual pickup settings offer a versatile range from twangy rhythm tones to warmer, punchier lead sounds. Outstanding playability, low action, and comfortable neck profile:

 

  • Action @ 12th fret: Low, buzz-free setup

  • Neck Relief: Light and adjustable

  • Neck Thickness: 1st fret .91", 12th fret .96"
