Hello Fender people, I'm new to Guitar projects. This is the 1st!

After watching numerous blues performances on You tube I recently acquired at a great (cheapish!) price a Mexican made Fender Telecaster Standard from a friendly local guitar dealer.

She's a beauty - made in the Fender factory in Ensenada, Mexico in 2001. I've named her Consuela as it seems apt. Black guitar body, white pick guard, Maple neck and what I thought were standard pickups that sound great.

Annoyingly the previous owner - or one of them, decided it'd be a fantastic idea to place some star stickers on the front. Why I really don't know. What's worse is that they removed them with what I can only guess to be a Brillo pad or wire brush. The effect being a lovely swirly scratch outline of 2 stars.

Absolute and total utter philistine.

Luckily the scratch marks don't appear to be that deep and are only visible close up. Hopefully a quick go with some T-cut will go some way to undo the crime, I'll test on the back just in case. Anyone got any better ideas before I make it worse.

Next post will be taking Consuela North of the border - fitting some Texas Specials resulting in her being Tex-Mex!!

Like these bad boys!! Yeee-haaa!!

The photo you've had posted is too large.

I never told you to remove the photo, I simply suggested to reduce its size by 50% and repost it.

Post more shots from that spicy jalapeno and - if possible - show us your baby in action! :P
