1968 Fender Telecaster Bass Blond

1968 Telecaster Bass. The bass is in excellent playing condition and was just purchased from the original owners. As with most of these the original pickguard "gassed" and fell apart. This has a black replacement guard. Everything else is original and clean, however the pickup was dead and its been rewound. Sounds great, plays great. Neck is straight, frets are like new. It comes with a black case they bought it in, but its not Fender?
