Description

If you missed out on the lovely Olympic White maple cap Tele we sold recently, fear not, we have another marvelous instrument for you to consider. Offered is 1969 Fender Telecaster serial number 227643 in amazing, all original condition.

This is a pretty special vintage Tele spec-wise. It has an ash body with a transparent blonde finish, a maple neck and the very desirable maple cap fingerboard option. It has a neck date of "Dec 68", "069" body stamps and the pots date to the 17th week of 1966. The body finish, pickups, cloth wiring, solder joints, frets and all the hardware are original to the guitar. Its nice a light and resonant too, weighing-in at just 6 pounds, 14 ounces. To top it off, this Tele has a nice chunky medium C-shaped neck with depth measurements of .870" at the first fret increasing to .930" at the twelfth fret. Great specs!

None of the above matters if the guitar doesn't sound and play like it should. No worries here! Please check out my brief sound sample below. The tone of the original pickups can't be replicated, the voice is classic Tele twang. It plays nice and smooth too, but depending on how many hours of play it gets, new frets will be required in the not-too-distant future.

The cosmetic condition is just icing on the cake. Check this baby out will you! There cannot be many Teles of this vintage that are in nicer shape than this beauty! It comes in its original black tolex case with the amp logo and includes the original hang tag, a vintage strap and the "ashtray" bridge cover.

If I could only have one electric guitar, it would likely be a Tele and preferably a vintage Fender Tele. Make this playable investment piece yours today. You will be very glad you did!
