Classic Early 60s Tone and Style

A double bound alder body provides the balanced, lively tone Fender guitars are famous for. Expect punchy mids, a robust low end, and clear, articulate highs that cut through any mix. The refined double binding adds a premium visual touch, elevating this Telecaster beyond the standard aesthetic of the era.

Comfortable Early 60s C Shaped Neck

The maple neck features an authentic early 60s C shaped profile that feels instantly familiar in the hand. Slim at the nut and gradually fuller toward the upper frets, it offers a comfortable, inviting feel for both chord work and lead playing.

A round laminate rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25 inch radius provides classic vintage comfort, while vintage tall frets allow expressive bends and wide vibrato without sacrificing period correct feel.

Vintage Style 1963 Telecaster Pickups

Two vintage style 1963 spec single coil pickups deliver the bright, cutting tones that defined Fender’s early 60s sound. These pickups produce crystal clear chime, raw twang, and singing sustain, making them ideal for everything from clean rhythm parts to biting lead lines.

Period Correct Hardware and Appointments

A vintage style 3 saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles delivers authentic early 60s Telecaster twang with solid intonation and resonance. Vintage style tuning machines complete the look while offering improved gear ratios for enhanced tuning stability and precision.
