The Fender Custom Shop 1969 Telecaster NOS in Natural is a love letter to late-'60s Tele tradition; it's tailor-made for players who crave vintage vibe with modern playability. Whether you're a devoted Tele aficionado or a serious player looking for that timeless, road-ready workhorse, this Custom Shop piece delivers authenticity and attitude in equal measure. With its era-specific build and clean, natural finish, it captures the aesthetic and soul of a post-summer-of-love classic-when the Tele was evolving, but its roots ran deep.
Crafted from a lightweight, two-piece off-center ash body, this guitar sings with the clarity and spank that Telecasters are famous for. The hand-wound '67 Telecaster pickups bring that unmistakable sparkle in the bridge and a full, rounded punch in the neck; perfect for everything from Bakersfield twang to muscle-bound rock or laid-back soul. The '67-spec control assembly, chrome knurled knobs, and vintage bridge hardware stay true to the original blueprint while delivering reliable performance onstage or in the studio. This is a no-nonsense Tele that's as versatile as it is faithful.
The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable '60s Oval "C" profile, measuring .840" at the 1st fret and .900" at the 12th; it's built to feel broken-in without the wear. Paired with a 9.5" radius fingerboard and 6105 narrow tall frets, it offers smooth bending and excellent note separation-perfect for lead players and chord wranglers alike. Intonation is solid, tuning stability is reliable thanks to Schaller F key tuners, and the bone nut ensures a strong transfer of tone and sustain.
Visually, the Natural finish over the ash body gives this Tele a striking, stripped-back beauty; it feels honest, organic, and proudly unadorned. The black dot inlays and period-correct '67-'76 Tele headstock logo give it a nod to its lineage, while the nitro lacquer finish promises graceful aging over time, just like the originals.
This 1969 Telecaster NOS is a masterclass in subtlety and soul. From its historically accurate detailing to its smooth-playing neck and bold Tele tone, it's a standout piece we're proud to offer. At Cream City Music, we're passionate about guitars that tell a story-and this one's ready to start its next chapter in your hands.
