The Story

1968 Telecaster Blonde

Here's a 1968 Telecaster with a Blonde finish that has been aged over years of gigs to a yellowing butterscotch color. Combined with the natural playwear and finish checking accumulated - this guitar has vibe for days. The maple-capped neck is stamped JUN 68 with original color coded cloth wire, 250K pot dates of 304-6617, and original hardware including the bridge cover. It's been professionally refretted with 6120 frets and feels wonderful. Lots of easy bends and lead playing on the bigger style frets! The Tele has one area of finish lifting on the back which will eventually chip off with more playwear, though for now it's hanging on. It includes a vintage hard case with the bottom latch missing and some tearing on the bottom leather ends.

Includes: Fender Hardshell Case, Bridge Cover
