The TE are wonderful instruments; this one is from late '79 (serialized in '80).
It has the same features of the Sunburst sister but with rosewood neck, with a mellower sound.
DiMArzio pickup and brass bridge and saddles.
Beautiful natural sugar brown finish.
The sound is there with the high level Fenders; actually, IMO the bridge sound of the TE-500CD is even more versatile due to the DiMarzio pickup, powerful and higher than the neck pickup, and with more mids.
