1955 Fender Telecaster – Blonde (S/N: 11086)
Price: $35,500.00

The Fender Telecaster is brilliance in its purest form—no excess, nothing to fix. With its bolt-on neck, slab body, and dual-pickup layout, Leo Fender created a platform that delivered unmatched clarity, punch, and reliability, setting the blueprint for the modern electric guitar. More than 70 years later, it remains a timeless benchmark.

This 1955 Telecaster in Blonde (S/N: 11086) is an outstanding, all-original example showing only light, honest playwear consistent with its age. Weighing in at a comfortable 7 lbs 6 oz, it has the lively, resonant feel that defines great mid-’50s Fenders.
