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, we 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 modern, fast-playing feel and pickup switching. The Pure Vintage '64 single-coil Telecaster pickups are as period-correct as possible, from the enamel-coated coil wire to the cloth-covered output wires, fiber bobbins and alnico 5 magnets.
Alder body with lacquer finish
Two Pure Vintage '64 single-coil Telecaster pickups
Mid-60s "C"-shaped neck profile; 9.5"-radius fingerboard
Vintage-style hardware; Telecaster bridge with three steel saddles
Includes vintage-style hardshell case
The bridge pickup's copper shielding plate adds some zing to your tone, while the pole pieces are staggered for balanced volume between the strings. The mid-'60s "C"-shaped neck profile gracefully fills the fret hand, while the 9.5"-radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard will feel familiar to any player. Other authentic touches include vintage-tall frets, original-era body radii, vintage-style hardware-including three steel saddles-vintage-style hardshell case and a lacquer finish that not only lets the wood "breathe" naturally with resonant tone, it also wears in a distinctively appealing way. A legendary instrument, the American Original '60s Telecaster is the best way to experience the performance, style and tone that made Fender the foundation of modern music.
Lacquer Finish
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.
Pure Vintage '64 Pickups
American Original instruments feature specially voiced pickups crafted to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years.
"Mid-'60s C" Neck Shape
This Telecaster features a "C"-shaped neck profile delivered straight from the mid-1960s to your hands. Remarkably comfortable, it suits any playing style.
Vintage-Accurate Body And Neck Radii
Original-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals.
Vintage-Correct Hardware
From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware is just like the original.
Fingerboard & Frets
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.
