For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1968 Fender Telecaster.
This is an exceptionally well-preserved Tele. The Blonde has aged beautifully, retaining a bright, clean appearance while developing just enough character to remind you that you're looking at a nearly 60-year-old Fender. While we had to have Lindy Fralin rewind the neck pickup, this guitar is otherwise all original.
The factory-installed Bigsby B-5 is a unique feature, adding an aesthetic as well as a sonic enhancement. The maple cap fingerboard, black dot inlays, and F-stamped tuners round out the late-'60s specification.
With its clean Blonde finish, ash body, laminated maple cap, factory Bigsby, and original hang tag, this is a wonderfully intact example for the collector or player who wants something a little outside the ordinary. The overall condition is excellent, and the guitar retains the look and feel of a Fender that has been exceptionally well cared for.
This Telecaster is accompanied by its original hardshell case, hang tag, and strap.
