Fender® 010-6200-857 American Vintage ‘62 Telecaster® Custom Guitar

The double-bound alder body and multi-ply pickguard that dressed up the ’62 Telecaster® Guitar distinguished it from its Butterscotch predecessor. And rosewood, originally introduced for cosmetic reasons because maple was prone to showing wear, quickly grew in popularity with the warmth it added to the classic Telecaster® tone.

In the spirit of the original, the American Vintage ‘62 Telecaster® Custom guitar has a C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25"-radius rosewood fingerboard. It also features a pair of ’62 Custom Tele® single-coil pickups, a vintage Tele® Bridge with threaded steel saddles, and the original Tele® Circuit with three-position switch.
