I have a 2005 MIM Tele (Black) that I bought damaged from a dealer. It has a few places with some chips and areas where the finish is still adhering but cracked.

I removed one piece of the finish that was cracked and semi sharp, to make that spot smoother and found what looks like some kind of darker material used as an edge banding around the body. Is this normal, or is Fender really cutting corners? I understand a multiple piece body, but this is kinda what is done to finish the edge of plywood! any thoughts?


This is concerning to me as I have 2 other fender guitars and a fender amp that I do not want to questioin the construction of.

It's called the binding and it's done on most higher end guitars. I'd be more worried if it wasn't there.
