1968 Fender Telecaster — Natural Refinish w/ Original Fender Hardshell Case
For sale is an authentic 1968 Fender Telecaster with its original Fender hardshell case.
This guitar retains many of its original components, including:
- Original 1968 Fender neck
- Original 1968 Fender body
- Original frets
- Original bridge
- Original control plate
- Original bridge pickup
- Fender tuning machines
- Original Fender hardshell case
Modifications include:
- Neck pickup cavity routed for a humbucker
- Gibson ’57 Classic humbucker installed in the neck position
- Coil-split / coil-tap wiring added
- 5-way Stratocaster-style switch installed
- Push-pull tone knob for humbucker coil split
- Mini toggle switch added to turn the neck pickup on/off
- Refinished in natural alder
The mini toggle allows the neck pickup to be engaged independently, making it possible to achieve a traditional Telecaster-style neck/bridge pickup combination while also using the coil-split humbucker setting.
The original neck pickup is included with the sale. The bridge pickup is original, and the additional single-coil pickup is also original Fender.
This guitar offers the resonance, feel, and character of a genuine late-1960s Fender Telecaster while providing added versatility from the Gibson-style humbucker and expanded switching options.
While this is not a collector-grade, all-original example due to the routing, refinish, and electronics modifications, it remains a highly desirable vintage player-grade Telecaster with substantial original components and outstanding vintage character.
Includes original Fender hardshell case.
