For sale: a beautiful 1971 Fender Telecaster in Blonde finish, an exceptionally attractive example for both players and collectors.

This Telecaster features several highly desirable characteristics that are rarely found together.

Specifications & Features

  • Year: 1971
  • Model: Telecaster
  • Finish: Blonde
  • Fretboard: Rosewood (relatively rare for this production year)
  • Body: correct ’60s body shape (very similar to late-1960s Telecasters)
  • Condition: original except for a professional refret and a new bone nut
  • Includes: original case, manual, and bridge cover

An extra detail for collectors: the original case has a factory anomaly — the latches and handle were installed in the orientation normally seen on a left-handed case, while the rest is correct for a right-handed case. A fun and unique CBS-era curiosity.

The refret and bone nut provide excellent playability without compromising the guitar’s vintage character. It sounds exactly how you would hope an early-’70s Telecaster would sound: open, punchy, and highly articulate.

Ideal for anyone looking for an authentic Tele with a late-’60s feel, but at a ’70s price point.
