Fender Telecaster Blonde Refinish, 1964

On March 14, 2019 /

This Fender Telecaster Blonde Refinish dates largely to 1964, with a 1966 neck pickup and a newer pickguard of the correct white/black/white layering. Long ago, the body was stripped and refinished blonde. The neck has some lacquer sprayed over the original finish, but this is quite worn and much of the wood is exposed – which makes it very comfortable. The original decal is in good condition; at the time, Fender applied the decals over the lacquer finish, and many have not worn well.

Fender American Series Telecaster Rosewood Board Sunburst, 2005

On February 23, 2019 /

The Fender American Series Telecaster was built from 2000 to 2007, renamed from (and then back to!) the American Standard Telecaster. It presents many of the best improvements to this venerable design.
Leo Fender’s design, quickly becoming the Telecaster, has arguably been one of the most successful and influential musical instruments ever. It has been in continuous production since the early 1950’s, with really only relatively minor changes and improvements.

Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster Olympic White, 2006

On January 16, 2019 /

The Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster, here as an Olympic White 2006 custom shop build, recognizes Beck’s needs for sonic versatility and tuning stability. Unusually for top flight rock players, Jeff Beck plays fingerstyle, without picks, and his heavy use of the trem bridge is part of his unmistakable sound. In the mid 1960’s, Jeff Beck was one of three top English players closely associated with the Telecaster – Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were the other two.

Fender American Telecaster Left Handed Sunburst, 2002

On December 18, 2018 /

This Fender American Telecaster Left Handed in Sunburst finish, built in 2002 at the Fender Corona plant, is in overall good condition. There is a little scuffing on the tail edge of the back finish, and light oxidization on the bridge plate, with light fret and play wear. It plays well, and as the frets on this series are larger than vintage style, there is plenty of room for any future maintenance.

Fender Telecaster Blonde Maple Neck, 1973

On December 13, 2018 /

The Fender Telecaster blonde is arguably one of the most significant musical instruments ever produced, and certainly the most successful. Produced without major changes for closing in on 70 years, the Telecaster and its original translucent blonde finish has been used for nearly every genre of music. The first production examples of what became the Telecaster and its Esquire version appeared in 1950. Since then, wood selections, pickup construction and hardware have evolved somewhat, but the basic design is unchanged.

Fender American Standard Telecaster Sunburst, 2012

On December 10, 2018 /

The Fender American Standard Telecaster updates the venerable, ultra reliable Tele design with modern concepts – Miro Tilt, Locking Tuners with staggered posts, six saddle bridge and comfort contour. These updates, small in themselves, make for definite improvements. The Micro Tilt neck adjustment appeared in the very early 1970’s and was one of Leo Fender’s last contributions at Fender
