Fender Custom Shop 1969 Rosewood Telecaster NOS, Natural, Indian Rosewood, COA
in Excellent to MINT condition.

Quick take description:
This is a Fender Custom Shop Rosewood Telecaster with serious late-’60s character, chambered Indian rosewood construction, hand-wound ’67 Tele pickups, and that unmistakable rosewood Tele look. It still gives you the snap and clarity of a great Tele, but with a warmer, woodier voice and a more refined feel. Includes the Custom Shop COA and floor traveler.

Main Description:
Fender Custom Shop 1969 Rosewood Telecaster NOS in Natural, built in 2020 and inspired by one of the most iconic Telecaster designs of the late 1960s.
This is not your everyday Tele. The guitar features a chambered Indian rosewood body with a maple center stripe, a one-piece rosewood neck with a maple skunk stripe, and classic late-’60s Tele appointments throughout. It has that unmistakable Rosewood Tele look, warm, elegant, and instantly recognizable, but with the comfort and reliability of a Fender Custom Shop build.
The chambered body helps keep the guitar more comfortable than a fully solid rosewood Tele, while still giving it that rich, focused, woody response these models are known for. It has a strong fundamental tone, plenty of sustain, and a slightly warmer voice than a traditional ash or alder Telecaster, while still keeping the snap, clarity, and attack you want from a great Tele.
The electronics are a classic Tele setup, with handwound ’67 Tele NOS pickups, 3-way switching, master volume, and master tone. The bridge pickup has plenty of bite and twang, the neck pickup is warm and round, and the middle position gives you that familiar Tele clarity with a little extra depth from the rosewood construction.
The neck is a comfortable 1960-style oval “C” shape, with a 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, 1.650” nut width, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. It feels smooth, familiar, and easy to play, with a nice balance of vintage inspiration and modern playability.

The included Custom Shop floor traveler and COA confirm the build details. This guitar is very similar to the current Dave’s Guitar Shop listing for a Fender Custom Shop 1969 NOS Rosewood Telecaster, which is listed as brand new at $4,750 and shows the same core model/spec family, including the chambered Indian rosewood body, rosewood neck, hand-wound ’67 NOS Tele pickups, and natural gloss finish.  

Overall, this is a very special Custom Shop Telecaster with a timeless look, great feel, and a voice that sits in a beautiful place between classic Tele snap and the warmer, richer character of rosewood. It is a great choice for a player, collector, or Beatles/Harrison-inspired Tele fan looking for something a little more distinctive than a standard Custom Shop Tele.

Listed with room for a fair offer, especially considering the Custom Shop build, rosewood construction, COA, floor traveler, and current pricing on similar examples.
