For sale is a Tradition Jerry Reid Signature Telecaster, a rare and beautifully built guitar inspired by the late great Jerry Reed’s stage workhorse. Tradition Guitars only made these in limited runs in the early 2000s, and they’ve since become sought-after sleepers among Tele fans.
Details:
Finish: Classic tobacco sunburst w/ black pickguard
Pickups: Humbucker in the neck, single coil in the bridge – perfect blend of twang and warmth
Neck/Fretboard: Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard & unique triangular inlays
Body: Bound Tele-style body with comfortable weight and balance
Case: Original hard shell tweed case, plush red velvet interior, includes case key
Condition: Clean, well-kept, only light cosmetic wear. Electronics all function properly, plays great. Sticker of northwest tribes Thunderbird can be removed easily without any mess or impact if desired. I think it looks really cool though but up to you.
Why this guitar?
If you’re after a Tele-style with more tonal flexibility than a straight traditional build, this is it. The neck humbucker gives it roundness for jazz, blues, or country comping, while the bridge single coil keeps the bite and snap. It’s a versatile, pro-grade instrument that plays and feels like something far above its price point.
💰 Price: $700 firm – priced well below market
These Tradition Jerry Reed Teles typically list between $600–$900, with clean examples (especially with the original case) selling for $850–$950. I’m letting this one go at $700 to move it quickly — no games, just a great guitar at a very fair price.
Located in SoMa / Mission Bay (right across from Giants Stadium – easy in/out with safe temp parking for pickup).
