A beautiful Golden-Era '63 Fender Telecaster with a "3MAR63B" stamp. This pre-CBS beauty is in very good condition with a repaired headstock crack and pertinent updates including a new nut and frets for enhanced playability, modern wiring for added tonal flexibility, and a re-wound bridge pickup. There’s evidence of routing under the pickguard in the neck position, and the body has been oversprayed ~ but the original finish remains intact underneath. The fuller C-shaped neck feels fantastic in hand, and this vintage workhorse delivers a lively response that translates beautifully when you plug it in. This vintage workhorse Tele is perfectly worn-in and ready to go for years to come! Includes non-original hardshell case.

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.
