[Kerouac]

Fender Custom Telecaster 1967

Rare hard to find model, beautiful lightweight example with many Pre CBS features, 100% orig. with no issues, single cut solidbody with white binding, nitrous finish on both body and neck, transitional gold logo, kluson tuners, great tone and playability, highly collectable, w/ ohc

 

[Guitar Heel]

Pretty, but I've never been a fan of sunburst Teles. Not sure why.

 

[Chad]

I can't believe you posted a Tele with a rosewood board. The only way that is acceptable is if it is a rosewood tele like George played.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Yes please. It took me a long time to have any appreciation of rosewood boarded Teles, especially the three-color burst custom, but I'm good with them now. And this real deal one is even sweater.

I'm so good with them now that I' thinking of getting a Baja Tele within the next year or two and can't decide between the regular or '60s version (Sonic Blue of course).

Same here. Teles should be white, blonde or, of course, black.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Same here. Teles should be white, blonde or, of course, black.

Yep. I'm also OK with light blue... But mostly, I just prefer the traditional blonde (Mary Kaye-ish).

Customs are acceptable rosewood compromises.

Yup. This is the one I'm talking about:

I don't even know you anymore.

 

[CBHScott]

Yes.

 

[Denverdave]

Sweet Tele. Not my favorite finish, but still quite hot.

Yup. This is the one I'm talking about:

'Taint nothing wrong with a 60s Baja Telecaster. I love mine. Oh yeah, and there's nothing wrong with sunburst Teles, with rosewood Teles IMO. Sure, I'd take this GOPTD

My 60s Baja Tele

 

[grover]

I do not hate... well not the Tele anyway

 

[jaxn slim]

I like it, but I am also not a fan of the sunburst.

 

[bsman]

I am not the world's biggest fan of "fancy" (e.g. double-bound, figured tops, burst finished, etc.) teles -- after all, it was designed as a utilitarian tool -- but I'd sure love to give that a spin.

 

[335clone]

Nice, but like many it's not my preferred finish or board. But it IS a Tele, instead of a Tele shaped guitar with HB's, individual saddles or a trem.
