Vintage Fender Telecaster - USA 1968

Here is a 1968 Fender Telecaster in original Olympic White, a classic late-’60s example from the CBS era that still carries much of the character and simplicity that defined Fender’s original solidbody breakthrough. Over time the finish has naturally aged and mellowed to a warm vintage yellow, giving the guitar a beautifully worn-in aesthetic with authentic character.

This example retains its original pickup set, with the bridge pickup possibly rewound at some stage while maintaining its lively Telecaster bite and clarity. It features original 1966 CTS potentiometers, with some additional wiring work carried out in the control cavity while the original components remain present. A reissue mint green pickguard has been fitted, complementing the aged finish and classic late-’60s look.

Condition is very good with natural wear and finish checking consistent with age, along with light modifications that do not affect its core vintage character. A lightweight and resonant Telecaster that delivers the classic snap, warmth, and cutting articulation the model is known for. Comes with a non-original hard shell case.
