Serial Number: 221956 Neck Stamp: 3 NOV68B Body Stamp 37068. This rare fifty-one-year-old American-made Tele wears her patina and character with pride. She has the wear and battle scars to prove it. Some folks pay big bucks to have their guitar “Relic’d”. Pros know the difference. She was retired from the road by 2000. A renowned luthier gave her a new life with a much-needed fret job in 2007, and set her up to play and sound like she did in 1968. Original Case: Black Tolex, orange plush inside, the latches close and the Fender Logo is intact, which is rare. The case has had its share of knocks. It’s in fair to good condition. It’s had some TLC. Please look carefully at the photos. They are the best guide to the condition of this amazing, vintage guitar and original case. Original Fender/Bigsby B5 Vibrato Tailpiece. 6x original Fender “F” Tuners. “Maple Cap” fingerboard with 21 Frets Re-fretted 2007. Frets are in excellent condition. Original Blond finish has yellowed with age. 3 Ply White Pickguard has yellowed with age. Fender Telecaster Logo on Headstock. Includes original Black Hardshell Case with orange plush lining (Works, but needs some TLC). Chock Full of History, and Vintage American Mojo! He reused the original parts for the repair. In my humble opinion, the repairs are just as much of the history of this guitar, as is the patina, the paint yellowing from countless gigs, the scuffs, dings, sweat, wear marks, intricate age-etched lacquer patterns, and decades of music this American-made Fender faithfully delivered to entertain live audiences. If your heart’s desire is a rare, true vintage, historical, authentic, well-loved, mojo-filled, 1968 Telecaster (with a smooth Fender-branded, factory-Bigsby B-5), a loved guitar that has been gently maintained and restored to play like a charm, this just might be the guitar for you. Please study the many photos carefully. They are your best guide to this instrument. Please send me a message if you have any questions. Thank You and Rock On!
