The most iconic Candy Apple Red Telecaster is probably ‘The Hoss’ by Muddy Waters. The Telecaster I’m offering here is a 1963 reissue from the Fender Custom Shop, closely resembling the guitar of this blues legend.  This Telecaster is a New Old Stock (NOS) model from 2016. It’s still in mint condition and completely original, including all accessories, case candy, and certificate.  The guitar is finished in the custom colour Candy Apple Red. It’s said that this was Leo Fender’s favourite Fender colour, and when you see this guitar, it’s easy to understand why.  Another standout feature is the beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard, reminiscent of Brazilian rosewood from the ’60s.   The guitar has a medium C-shaped neck profile and plays exceptionally well. Of course, it sounds just as a great Telecaster should, with plenty of twang and bite, but thanks to the rosewood fingerboard, it’s slightly less bright than Telecasters with maple fingerboards.  Feel free to come and give it a thorough test. Worldwide shipping is available. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos of the guitar, please get in touch!  Weight: 3.4 kg / 7.5 lbs Serial Number: R85155

The Fender Telecaster, known affectionately as the "Tele," emerged as the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, marking a significant milestone in music history. Its straightforward design and innovative sound paved the way for new trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Since its debut in the 1950s, the Telecaster has been celebrated for its versatility, serving artists across genres from country to jazz, rock, and beyond. Its solid construction, characterized by a single-cutaway body made typically from alder or ash and a bolt-on maple neck, contributes to its distinct, bright, and cutting tone as well as a warm, mellow sound depending on pickup selection. With minor modifications over the years, the Telecaster has remained largely faithful to its original design, featuring two single-coil pickups, a three-way selector switch, and simple volume and tone controls. This enduring design has kept the Telecaster relevant and in continuous production, solidifying its status as a beloved icon in the guitar world.
