1966 Fender Telecaster Custom
Beautiful 1966 Tele custom in great condition. Not every sunburst from this era stands out, but this one immediately caught my eye. It has very nice aging and honest play wear on both the front and back, with beautifully aged bindings.
It’s a fantastic playing and sounding guitar and also a lightweight example at only 3 kg. The comfortable neck is dated October ’66 and even shows some subtle flame. The pots are dated week 13 of 1966.
The guitar retains its original pots and wiring, but has been updated to modern specs (cap is out), making it much more practical to use. About 15 years ago the bridge pickup was rewound by TK Smith, something that will likely become more common as the original coil wire will not last forever.
A great sounding and very comfortable mid-60s Telecaster with lots of character.
Comes in its original Fender case.
