About this listing
This incredibly hard to find Blue Flower Telecaster has been in build for ages and is now finally available. The twin Custom Shop Hand-Wound '67 Single-Coil Tele pickups and 3-Saddle '67 bridge with with Threaded Steel Saddles combine with a meticulose attention to detail and abundance of character. This is a stand out hands down exceptional looking CS Tele that really knows how to stand out in a crowd. This Fender Custom Shop Custom Vintage Custom 68 Telecaster NOS Blue Flower comes with Deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.This is what the Custom Shop guys have to say about the history and background to this 60's inspired Blue Flower Telecaster. 1967’s Summer of Love and Flower Power movement influenced mainstream fashions worldwide, and Fender was on board with its new Blue Flower and Paisley Telecasters. Oddly enough, the guitars became more popular with rockabilly and country western players (they were adopted most famously by Tele master James Burton) rather than the flower children that helped inspire them. These guitars have earned a special place in Fender history, and the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1968 Blue Flower and Paisley Tele models are faithful recreations of those original instruments.The two-piece select alder body wears an NOS lacquer finish with WLS undercoat over the famous Paisley or Blue Flower motif. The rift-sawn maple neck has a ’60-style “oval C” profile, topped by a round-lam rift-sawn maple fingerboard with 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound radius and 21 medium vintage frets for a comfortable feel up and down. Hand-wound ’67 Tele pickups meet the exact spec for that year, with a three-way switch and modern Tele wiring. Other features include an eight-hole clear polyurethane pickguard, ’67 Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, Schaller® “F” tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree. Deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity included.SN: R138799Weight: 7lbs 7ozFender Custom Shop Vintage Custom '68 Telecaster NOS, Maple Fingerboard, Blue FlowerModel 9231012930NECK MATERIAL Rift Sawn MapleNECK FINISH Nitrocellulose LacquerNECK SHAPE '60s Oval "C"NECK THICKNESS .850"NECK BUTT WIDTH 2.200"NECK THICKNESS 12TH FRET .920"FINGERBOARD RADIUS 7.25" to 9.5" Vintage Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)FINGERBOARD MATERIAL Round-Laminated Rift Sawn MaplePOSITION INLAYS Micarta Black Dot 7mmSIDE DOTS Black Micarta, 3/32" (2.38 mm)NUMBER OF FRETS 21TRUSS ROD Vintage-Style Heel AdjustTRUSS ROD NUT Vintage-Style SlottedSTRING NUT BoneNUT WIDTH 1.650" (42 mm)BODY 2-Piece Select AlderBODY FINISH Nitrocellulose Lacquer with WLS UndercoatBRIDGE 3-Saddle '67 Telecaster® with Threaded Steel SaddlesPICKGUARD ClearPICKUP COVERS Neck: Nickel; Bridge: NoneCONTROL KNOBS Knurled Flat-TopSWITCH TIP Top Hat Style, BlackHARDWARE FINISH Nickel/ChromeTUNING MACHINES Schaller® "F"STRING TREES Single WingSTRINGS Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges)NECK PLATE 4-Bolt with "F" LogoBRIDGE PICKUP Custom Shop Hand-Wound '67 Single-Coil Tele®NECK PICKUP Custom Shop Hand-Wound '67 Single-Coil Tele®CONTROLS Master Volume, Master ToneSWITCHING 3-Position BladeINCLUDED ACCESSORIES Deluxe Hardshell Case, Strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
