Fender's Custom Shop 1968 Blue Floral Telecaster packs in all the vintage psych-rock vibes one could ever want in a guitar, making it great for Hendrix fans and classic Fender enthusiasts alike. From its twangin' hand-wound pickups to its '60s Oval "C" shaped neck and worn relic finish, this guitar oozes rock 'n' roll mojo. If you've been searching for a phenomenal axe dripping with sixties swagger, this top-of-the-line Telecaster is an excellent choice.
Sporting a two-piece alder body with a Relic finish, this guitar looks, feels, and plays just like a genuine vintage Fender that's been well-loved and well-gigged for decades. It doesn't just look spectacular, though - its rift-sawn maple neck boasts a '60s Oval "C" profile, a 7.25" - 9.5" compound radius fretboard, and 21 narrow-tall frets, giving it an excellent feel that accommodates a broad range of styles and techniques. And thanks to its premium Schaller F Key tuners, this Fender has exceptional tuning stability.
Powering this Telecaster is a pair of hand-wound pickups that deliver a bold, twangy sound that'll take you right back to the golden era of rock 'n' roll. With a Twisted Tele single-coil in the neck position and an OBG pickup in the bridge, this guitar can churn out a stellar array of bright, clean vintage-inspired tones. Just plug into a vintage tube amp, crank the volume, and you'll be amazed at how authentically vintage this axe sounds.
Complete with a CS Hardshell case, the Fender Custom Shop 1968 Telecaster is perfect for classic guitar buffs searching for a unique sixties-inspired Tele with an incredible sound.
