Fender T-Bucket 300CE (Flame Maple, Trans Cherry Burst) – 2017 – Acoustic-Electric w/ Hard Case
Bold stage look, comfy cutaway, and onboard electronics—solid working player with purely cosmetic wear
This is a Fender T-Bucket 300CE, flm mpl tcs v3, built August 2017. It’s a laminated flame maple/mahogany dreadnought cutaway with a slick Trans Cherry Burst finish and onboard Fishman electronics—great as a gigging acoustic, writing guitar, or step-up instrument from an entry-level acoustic.
Overall condition: Good (cosmetic wear only, fully functional)
6–7 sq. in. scratch/sanding mark on the lower back of the body.
A few small dings around the body edges.
Noticeable haze/blemishing on the front, mainly toward the corners—most likely from using the wrong cleaner; similar haze continues across the sides and back.
No cracks, separation, or structural issues—finish/cosmetic only.
Neck and headstock are clean with no breaks or repairs; neck is straight, truss rod responsive.
Frets are clean with plenty of life, no sharp ends or buzzing on a normal setup.
Electronics (pickup, preamp, tuner) work properly with quiet output.

FAQs:
Q: Is any of the damage structural?
A: No. The scratch on the back, the haze on the finish, and the small dings are cosmetic only. The body is solid, neck joint is firm, and there are no cracks or separations.
Q: Does the haze affect feel or sound?
A: No. It’s in the clear coat/finish only. The guitar still feels smooth to the touch and sounds like a T-Bucket should—bright top with solid low-end from the mahogany body.
Q: How are the electronics?
A: The Fishman preamp, pickup, controls, and tuner all function as expected. Plugged-in tone is clean with no crackling or intermittent signal.
Q: Is the case in good condition?
A: Yes. The hard shell case is structurally sound with working latches and handle and provides proper protection for transport.
