The Fender Mustang was added to the Fender program in 1964 and was aimed at starter and intermediate guitar players. The model evolved from the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic student models and had a similar body shape, short 22.5″ or 24 inch scale length neck and pickup(s).

The Peghead is a small private shop next to George Furlanetto’s FBass shop. While the maple-neck Fender Telecaster was being quite successfully produced in almost its original form, by 1959 Fender wanted to widen the appeal of its instruments.

Fender 1952 Telecaster Vintage Series Butterscotch, 1982

On November 9, 2023 /

Here’s an interesting Fender 1952 Telecaster Vintage Reissue from the original 1982 Vintage Series built in Fullerton, California while CBS still owned the company. The Fender 1952 Telecaster Vintage Reissue body is lightweight Ash paired with a one-piece Maple neck having the Walnut insert for the truss rod cavity. The ‘Butterscotch’ finish is very much like the original 1952 models, and is nitrocellulose lacquer.

Built in Corona, California from 2010 to 2016, the Fender American Deluxe Telecaster was a progression in Telecaster design. Bringing forward the key elements that have made the Telecaster a success since its 1950 introduction, the American Deluxe Telecaster adds a compound radius neck with bi-flex truss rod, locking tuners, noiseless pickups and extra contouring. These are all practical improvements.

Fender American Standard Telecaster Blonde, 1995

On October 14, 2023 /

Here we’re looking at a Fender American Standard Telecaster with an opaque Blonde finish, dating to 1995 in Corona, California, using three North American woods. The neck is Maple with Walnut covering the rear-mounted truss rod channel, and at this time the body was Alder. Fender also uses various types of Ash as a body wood. The fretwire is a medium-jumbo type, larger than ‘vintage’ styles and with the slightly ‘rolled’ 22-fret fingerboard edges provides a very comfortable, positive feel with plenty of traction for bending.

Fender Telecaster Bass Blonde, 1972

On September 21, 2023 /

The Fender Telecaster Bass launched in the surprisingly late year of 1968, though its appearance is very much like the original, revolutionary 1951 Precision Bass. From a modern perspective, there isn’t a lot to the Fender Telecaster Bass. It is basically an ash or alder slab body with a one-piece maple neck bolted to it, a bridge, and from 1968 to 1972 a single coil pickup with volume and tone controls.
