This DeTemple '52 Industry Standard was hand built in California by luthier, Mike DeTemple in 2013. These were made in very limited quantities and the design is based on a 1952 Telecaster style guitar. This guitar is comprised of an ash body, "V" maple neck, and maple fretboard with the electronics including hand-wound DeTemple single coil pickups. The hand written date stamps and etchings inside the neck pocket are a really nice touch and it's very clear that a lot of care and precision went into building this instrument. The guitar plays and sounds great!
This guitar shows minor cosmetic wear that includes various surface scratches, scuffs, small dents throughout the body from normal play. There's also some minor finish wear along the lower side of the body. The frets exhibit light play wear but otherwise still have plenty of life along the neck and the electronics work as they should.
This guitar is all original.

Neck: 5.4k ohms
