1965 Fender Telecaster
The Telecaster is not only the first production solidbody electric guitar, it is also the classic one.
Created by Leo Fender in 1950, its design has seldom changed over the last 65 years.
Truth is, it can’t really be bettered: in its simplicity lies its success.
The list of great musicians who have played a Tele is literally endless:
Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Steve Cropper, Danny Gatton, PJ Harvey, Frank Black, James Burton…
This rare early 1965 Telecaster is in fantastic condition with some signs of normal playing wear.
No wonder, it sounds so good and is so light that it's difficult to put down!
Complete with original case, pickup cover and leather strap.
