1978 Telecaster USA – What’s Hiding Under the Grime?

A well-aged 1978 Fender Telecaster — a guitar drenched in decades of smoke, character, and history. This guitar has clearly lived a life, with a finish that's aged from blonde to butterscotch thanks to heavy nicotine exposure — and under the pickguard, a surprising hint of its original tone is revealed. Here's part II where I do a refret and more:    • I Refretted My 1978 Fender Telecaster – No...   The electronics also offered some surprises: an odd pot and cap combo, serious treble loss when rolling down the volume, and plenty of vintage mojo. What’s inside? • Vintage Lollar pickups • Mismatched pots and unusual capacitor • Heavy tone loss at low volume • Nikotin grime and yellowed binding • Possible lacquer checking under the gunk 00:00 What’s in the case? 05:32 First tones of the 1978 Telecaster 08:51 How does it feel? 09:39 Volume roll-off and treble loss 12:14 Strings are off 13:15 Pickguard is off 14:50 Strange electronics 18:11 Pickguard sizes 20:07 After the modifications 24:40 1978 or 1979? 25:12 Treble loss still? 27:45 Playing demo This Telecaster hails from Fender’s infamous CBS era (1965–1985), a period often criticized for cost-cutting and quality inconsistency after CBS acquired the company. But while some guitars from this time may have varied in finish or weight, many still had incredible bones — just like this one. And hey, if it was good enough for Jimmy Page and David Gilmour, who both rocked CBS-era Fenders… it’s probably good enough for the rest of us.
