Pots3046618. Stackpole pots from the 18th week of 1966.

This Telecaster dates to 1966 by way of its neck stamp (3 JUN 66 B) and Stackpole pots from the 18th week of that year, though the body is a refinished Fender piece from 1968 or later — so this one is best understood as a really cool parts guitar rather than a matching-date example. The finish is a purple metal flake refin evocative of late 60s garage band custom mods. The neck and headstock have been oversprayed, the logo replaced, and the pickups potted at some point. What you're getting here is a mid-to-late-60s Fender Telecaster that plays like one and looks like nothing else in the room — a legitimate vintage platform wearing a custom coat that suits it well.
