I recently bought a Fender American Vintage Telecaster 62 and I was very happy with it until I had a gig and exposed the guitar for 4 straight hours during the rehearsal to direct sunlight.
Two days after I began to notice the guitar was kinda strange. It felt like it had lost its "soul". The guitar had a full-bodied sound, really balanced, in the beginning and now it seems like a stick with strings with no sustain.
I've took her to my luthier and he said he couldn't find any damage. Still I feel the guitar isn't the same!
Could the extreme heat (the guitar was almost literally burning my arm) have caused permanent damage to the guitar's structure?


Are you serious ?? btw I just took my tele down from my attic where it was easily over 140 degrees for a few months.... I think it sounds a bit better now :wink:
