Limited Edition Pink Paisley Tele

The “Pink Paisley Tele” has been and still is to this day Fender's most iconic guitars.  It represents a very specific era, not just for Fender, but for popular culture in general.  There's no way to look at it and NOT think of a specific point in time.  The Limited Edition 1968 Pink Paisley Tele brings it all back.

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 Paisley Tele model is faithful recreation.

The two-piece select alder body wears an NOS lacquer finish with WLS undercoat over the famous Paisley 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.
