1968 Fender Telecaster - Vintage Player Grade - Original Fender Case - Humbucker Route / Gibson '57 Classic / Coil Tap Mods

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.
