1976 Fender Telecaster Deluxe

(Heath, Ohio)

I would like to know the value of my 1976 Fender Telecaster Guitar. This guitar and original case is in excellent condition. there is some blackening on the inside top of case from apparently dirty strings. No major scratches, or blemishes, on the guitar. This guitar, besides some natural yellowing, looks and plays like new. It has had extremely great care.
