Seller's description

This incredibly hard to find Blue Flower Telecaster has been in build for ages and is now finally available. The twin Custom Shop Hand-Wound '67 Single-Coil Tele pickups and 3-Saddle '67 bridge with with Threaded Steel Saddles combine with a meticulose attention to detail and abundance of character. This is a stand out hands down exceptional looking CS Tele that really knows how to stand out in a crowd. This Fender Custom Shop Custom Vintage Custom 68 Telecaster NOS Blue Flower comes with Deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity. This is what the Custom Shop guys have to say about the history and background to this 60's inspired Blue Flower Telecaster. 1967’s Summer of Love and Flower Power movement influenced mainstream fashions worldwide, and Fender was on board with its new Blue Flower and Paisley Telecasters. Oddly enough, the guitars became more popular with rockabilly and country western players (they were adopted most famously by Tele master James Burton) rather than the flower children that helped inspire them. These guitars have earned a special place in Fender history, and the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1968 Blue Flower and Paisley Tele models are faithful recreations of those original instruments. The two-piece select alder body wears an NOS lacquer finish with WLS undercoat over the famous Paisley or Blue Flower motif. The rift-sawn maple neck has a ’60-style “oval C” profile, topped by a round-lam rift-sawn maple fingerboard with 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound radius and 21 medium vintage frets for a comfortable feel up and down. Hand-wound ’67 Tele pickups meet the exact spec for that year, with a three-way switch and modern Tele wiring. Other features include an eight-hole clear polyurethane pickguard, ’67 Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, Schaller® “F” tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree. Deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity included. SN: R138799 Weight: 7lbs 7oz Fender Custom Shop Vi
