Fender / TELECASTER / 1968 / Blond / Guitar

A beautiful 100% original guitar, exceptionally light and in excellent conditions. The ash body still has the pre-'68 features, with diagonal wiring route, see-through blond finish and a very light weight. The nitro-finished maple neck has the very sought-after maple-cap fingerboard. Everything on this guitar is absolutely original and untouched. The headstock has the black logo and the CBS-era Fender tuners original nut and original frets. Both neck and fretboard show heavy playing wear, which gives this Tele a very nice vintage feel. The body's finish has yellowed a bit in the exposed areas and shows normal playing wear along the edges and a few nicks and dings on the top, behind the bridge and next to the pickguard. Both top and back, however, are in very clean conditions. The chrome-plated hardware shows some rust Original bridge with grooved saddles. The circuitry is untouched with two '66 pots, a three-way CRL selector switch, and two great sounding pickups with virgin solder-joints. The bridge pickup is dated august '68, just like the neck's base. The sound is the classic mid-60s hot Tele sound, sharp but never thin, powerful, definite and aggressive. This Tele comes with its original black tolex case with Fender logo in excellent conditions. More detailed description and 35 pictures on our website www.realvintage.it.
