- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Telecaster, '62 reissue, bound in cream, in striking transparent blue finish. It's hard to describe just how foxy this guitar really is... it oozes class and attitude! The bound body really makes the trans blue finish 'pop', it's such a good combo. There's a nice depth in the grain, it looks different depending on the light and angle. The board is a very dark rosewood, it's a really nice looking piece. The body is light and resonant and the neck is precisely made and in pristine condition; it's exceptionally comfortable to play. She isn't all curves either, the tone is there to back it all up! It's nicely balanced, warm, bright and open with plenty of magic. You won't easily find a tastier Tele than this!
