Description
There's something timeless about a well-executed vintage reissue, and this Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster NOS in Fiesta Red delivers that nostalgia in full color. It's a guitar that speaks directly to the player who craves that golden-era Fender vibe, with tone and feel rooted in early '60s craftsmanship. Whether you're a seasoned Tele enthusiast or a tone chaser with an ear for old-school magic, this one was built to inspire.
This model captures the essential DNA of a true 1960 Telecaster: slab rosewood fretboard, lightweight alder body, and vintage-style appointments throughout. The NOS (New Old Stock) finish keeps the vibe clean and classic with a nitrocellulose lacquer that will age naturally with time. The 2-piece alder body has been hand-selected for light weight, making it a fantastic companion on stage or in the studio. Under the hood, a set of Custom Shop pickups delivers period-correct tone, warm and clear in the neck position thanks to the '63 Tele pickup, and bright, cutting twang from the '56/'57-inspired bridge pickup.
From a player's standpoint, this Tele is built for comfort and precision. The 60-style Oval "C" neck profile offers a familiar, fast feel, paired with a 9.5" radius and 6105 narrow tall frets for modern playability that doesn't compromise the vintage aesthetic. The nitro-finished maple neck feels smooth and responsive with no tint, just a clean, classic look that plays as good as it feels.
The Fiesta Red finish isn't just a throwback, it's a statement. It channels that British Invasion-era cool, making it a standout whether you're under stage lights or in a collector's display. Fender's craftsmanship shines here; from the white micarta dot inlays to the Parchment/Black/Parchment pickguard, every detail feels deliberate and right on the mark.
Whether you're recording crisp country licks, gritty blues riffs, or atmospheric indie textures, this '60 Telecaster NOS delivers the versatility and personality to match. At Cream City Music, we're always on the hunt for Custom Shop guitars that feel truly alive; this one does. It's got the tone, the touch, and the soul of a well-loved original-with the flawless playability of a modern build.
