This vintage 1968 Fender Telecaster has been expertly refinished in Blonde by renowned luthier Joe Riggio, known for his period-accurate restorations.

Featuring a rare factory maple cap neck, this vintage Tele delivers classic Fender twang and bite with exceptional playability and tone.  It weighs just a half ounce over 7 pounds.

The guitar retains its original hardware and electronics, offering the ideal blend of authenticity and professional-grade restoration. A superb example of late-'60s Fender craftsmanship, perfect for players and collectors alike.

The neck was refretted, and a new bone nut installed.  The frets feel perfect, better than the originals from the period.  The neck has a vintage, worn in feel.

Included is an original case that is missing the logo.
