Description
This 1960 Fender Telecaster stands out immediately as a rare left-handed example finished in Dupont red, a striking custom-color presentation from the early slab-board era. The guitar remains all original and carries the dry, responsive feel and articulate attack that continue to define early Telecasters. Around the heel, there are two coats of red beneath a layer of clear, along with visible sanding marks in that area, details that appear consistent with work likely completed at the factory. Those small irregularities offer an interesting glimpse into Fender’s production process during a period when custom-color instruments were still handled in relatively small numbers.
