Fender / TELECASTER / 1968 / SUNBURST CUSTOM COLOR / Guitar
|
The sunburst finish was only offered as a custom option on Telecasters. The red shading has almost disappeared from the top of this guitar, due the excessive exposure to the sunlight, except for the areas covered by the pickguard (see pictures), while it is still unfaded and shiny on the back of the body. Along with the maple fretboard, the ‘almost two-tone’ color of the top strongly evokes a '50s vibe, enhanced by the beautifully checked 100% nitro finish. Very light alder body with the typical pre-69 diagonal route. The bridge pickup cavity shows a red hand-written ‘SB’. The sought-after maple cap neck isdated July 1968. Original nut, frets, Ftuners, logo. The clear finish of the fingerboard is worn in in the first positions only. Original potentiometers dated 17th week of '66, original 3-way switch, knobs and tip. All the guitar's wiring has typical mid-'60s features with two-colored wires, and 100% original solderings. The bridge unit is dated 1968. The bridge has the grooved saddles and the original ‘ashtray’ metal cover. The guitar hasn't heavy signs of wear. The beautiful checking texture adds an incredible vintage charm to this great guitar. Very light, good sounding, great looking Tele. Please seewww.realvintage.it , 48 pictures online!
