Fender's answer to the country music scene was the Telecaster; at least that's how history unfolded here in Nashville with artists like Waylon Jennings and Carl Perkins. But the Telecaster was also the answer to Jimmy Page's recording sound. And Keith Richards. And Jeff Beck. Its matrix of simplicity/versatility is unfounded; that's why it's legendary. 1963, when this example was made, was a prime year for Pre-CBS Fender guitars and boast some of the most famous neck profiles (although this one was recontoured to favor bulk on the treble side). Both the body and neck of this guitar have been over sprayed, however the nitro lacquer that has aged and checked with time. Surprisingly, apart from the finish, pickguard and neck recontour, this guitar is mostly original and was played in its configuration for many many years. Internally, the neck pickup was rewound. This guitar seems to have all the charm that brought country and rock legends to it in the 60s and 70s.

Comes with original blonde tolex case that was relined with blue velvet and given a white leather covering to the main external panels.
