1967 Fender Telecaster
The Telecaster is not only the first production solidbody electric guitar, it is also the classic one.
Created by Leo Fender in 1950, its design has seldom changed over the last 65 years.
Truth is, it can’t really be bettered: in its simplicity lies its success.
The list of great musicians who have played a Tele is literally endless:
Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Steve Cropper, Danny Gatton, PJ Harvey, Frank Black, James Burton…
This early 1967 Telecaster is in stunning condition with some light signs of ageing and playing wear.
This is a true one-owner guitar that was clearly cherished well looked after.
With a November neck date, this must be one of the last Teles to be adorned with the classic spaghetti logo.
Complete with original case, leather strap and strings.
