1968 Fender Telecaster Serial #214239 with a "3NOV67B" neck stamp. Excellent condition with worn and minor dings/blemishes but overall super clean for its age and near stock with a new nut, frets, and upgraded brass saddles for a fast and modern feel. This example is resonant and snappy providing staple Tele tones that will certainly please vintage Fender Afficionados with ample sustain and a resonant and dynamic response. Please reach out with any questions on this excellent CBS-era workhorse! Includes original hardshell case and the original saddles.

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.
