One of the most versatile guitars ever created, the Telecaster is easily at home in any genre, thanks to its flexible sound, alluring style and smooth playing feel. In 1960, Fender offered rosewood as the standard fingerboard wood and launched the Telecaster Custom, an elegant model with a double-bound body and 3-ply pickguard. The American Original '60s Telecaster combines period-accurate sound and style from this electrifying decade with a modern, fast-playing feel and pickup switching.
FEATURES
- The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way
- Every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals
- This 9.5"-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25" radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. Vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out
- This Telecaster features a "C"-shaped neck profile delivered straight from the mid-1960s to your hands, it suits any playing style
- American Original instruments feature specially voiced pickups crafted to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years
