Description

Lou Reed Signed & Inscribed Fender Telecaster Natural Solid Body Electric Guitar, Serial #S025833.
This Fender Telecaster Natural Solid Body Electric Guitar, Serial #S025833, features a factory natural finish and was made in Japan. The instrument bears the signature of legendary Velvet Underground frontman and solo artist Lou Reed. Reed writes "walk on the wild side". It comes with full Letters of Authenticity from both Beckett Authentication Services and PSA/DNA. While structurally intact, the guitar is currently covered in a rusty, tacky residue and will require cleaning. The dirt is in the gig bag as well.
Gigbag included. Condition: Fair.

Lou Reed's influence on modern music cannot be overstated-his work with The Velvet Underground laid the groundwork for punk, glam, and alternative rock. As a solo artist, Reed continued to push boundaries with albums like Transformer and Berlin, cementing his legacy as a poet of urban realism.
