Fender Telecaster Natural, 1974 / *No Longer Available*

Fender Telecaster Natural, 1974 / *No Longer Available*

This Fender Telecaster, built in 1974 sports a relatively unusual Natural finish and is in very nice, all original condition. Built with a one-piece Maple neck – and its Walnut ‘Skunk’ stripe covering the channel for the rear-mounted truss rod and a three-piece Ash body, this example is typical of the Telecaster design and the aesthetics of this period.

Fender 52 Telecaster Reissue Butterscotch Blonde, 1999

 Fender 52 Telecaster Reissue Butterscotch Blonde, 1999

The Fender 52 Telecaster Reissue appeared in 1982, as one of the first wave of vintage reissue models based on ever-closer readings of original designs. These reissues began a few years before the 1985 sale of the Fender brand – but not the plant and fixtures – by CBS to a management group. Fender introduced the Telecaster, originally the single pickup Esquire, to the market in its 1950 catalog.

   Fender Classic 69 Pink Paisley Telecaster, 2016

The Fender Classic 69 Pink Paisley Telecaster recreates the eye-catching Paisley Telecasters of the late 1960’s – a finish also used on some Stratocasters. Made in Japan by Fuji-Gen during 2016, this is an excellent version of a classic model. This example is in very good, clean condition with extremely light wear, and is sold with its original rectangular Fender case. The original steel saddles are in the case, and a set of intonated brass saddles have been installed for improved intonation and tuning.
