We’re furiously rounding up the best possible deals you can find ahead of Amazon Prime Day, and Guitar Center has served up an absolute scorcher with a hefty discount on this Purple Metallic Fender Road Worn ’50s Telecaster.

For starters, it’s not every day you see a Purple Metallic Tele. Even rarer is the chance to buy one for a knock-down price, as Guitar Center has taken $200 off this particularly purdy single-cut, bringing the price down from $1,099 to $899.

This limited-edition Telecaster has tones to go with its good looks, too, courtesy of two Tex-Mex Telecaster single coils, while the three-saddle Tele bridge and vintage-style tuners round out the ’50s spec.

And, of course, the alder body has been subjected to a Road Worn finish, giving the Tele a pre-aged look that you’ll struggle to obtain right now given the lack of gigs on the horizon.

Plus, the finish extends to the C-shaped maple neck, giving it that much-desired played-in feel.
