For Sale: 1996 Fender Telecaster Plus V2 – Antique Burst w/ Tweed HSC

Up for sale is a 1996 Fender Telecaster Plus V2 in Antique Burst, complete with a non-original tweed hard-shell case.

This is a very cool mid-’90s Telecaster Plus V2 with the modernized features that made these stand out from a standard Tele. The model offers a more versatile, higher-performance take on the Telecaster platform, with original Lace Sensor pickups, updated electronics, and a comfortable Modern C neck. Finished in Antique Burst, this one has a great look and a very player-friendly feel.

Condition

This guitar is in very good condition and I would rate it a solid 8/10. It shows light scratches, some dings throughout, and some tarnish to the hardware, all consistent with normal use. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.

There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The neck is straight, the original frets are in excellent condition, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with no buzzing or dead spots. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.

The non-original tweed hard-shell case is included and is in excellent condition.

Electronics & Features

One of the unique features of the Telecaster Plus V2 is the added tonal flexibility from the switching setup. The mini switch allows for a different wiring option that gives the guitar a broader range of sounds beyond a standard Tele configuration.

These models are appreciated for combining classic Fender ergonomics with a more modern voice and expanded tonal options.

Tone & Feel

This guitar has a great balance of classic Fender clarity and a slightly more refined, versatile feel than a traditional Telecaster. The Lace Sensor pickups offer strong note definition with reduced noise, and the Modern C neck and 9.5" radius make it especially comfortable to play.

At 8 lbs 6 oz, it has a solid, balanced feel without being overly heavy.
