The Story

1965 Rosewood Telecaster Custom NOS

This is a Music Zoo-spec'd '65 Telecaster Custom from the Fender Custom Shop outfitted with an all-rosewood body and neck! The NOS natural gloss finish highlights the brown colors of the rosewood, and the white binding and 3-ply pickguard perfectly outlines it and adds some contrast. A set of '63 Tele picks provides classic Tele twang that is added warmth and punch via the rosewood.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy, Paperwork
