Description

This 1966 Telecaster is a rare one finished in custom color Candy Apple Red with a maple cap fingerboard. It remains in great shape and largely original with only a handful of modifications. The switch has been rewired to standard Telecaster wiring and there is a halo of a different bridge previously being installed, however the period correct bridge is installed now. The Strat style switch tip seems to be factory original, but could possibly have been a later installation. The neck dates to August '65 with pots dating to '66 and the top of the body is stamped with 05 CA RED, indicating this finish is original. It's set up well, plays great and has that vintage 60s Tele twang.

Includes 1963 Blonde Fender HSC.
