The following description is taken from the 1969 Fender lovin' care catalogue
This is the guitar that started it all! For two decades the telecaster has produced record breaking sounds in every field of music. You name itÂ…rhythm, blues, rock or countryÂ…the Telecaster is a legend.
Two adjustable pickups in conjunction with a three position switch and tone control (use Fender 150 light Gauge strings if you like) produce a lead tone that can't be equalled. A change of the switch to the rhythm pickup gives mellow jazz sounds too!
Other Telecaster features include a fast action truss rod reinforced neck (available with a maple fingerboard) adjustable bridges for both length and height. A specially designed Fender/Bigsby Tremolo giving smooth action is now available as an option.
Custom models feature a beautiful, highly polished Sunburst finish and the top and bottom edges of the solid-body are trimmed with white contrasting binding. Standard models are finished in natural blonde. All models are trimmed with white pickguard. Metal parts are heavily chrome plated and will retain their like new appearance over a long period of time. Telecasters are available in selected custom finishes, left-hand models.
Standard neck with: 15/8" at nut; available 1 ½" and 1 ¾" by special order
