As such, early '60s Telecasters are rather uncommon guitars, regardless that we consider them among the finest Fender instruments of the pre-CBS era. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 2023 offering from Fender's Custom Shop is a well-designed modern take on the curved rosewood board Telecaster guitars made in the early 1960s. The full neck profile, akin to those carved in 1963 and 1964 is remarkably comfortable, and the 6105 frets and 9.5” fretboard radius makes playability and bending notes really quite heavenly. The C carve is comfortable, rounded and rolled, and features a 1st fret thickness of .837”. Equipped with a set of Texas Special pickups, the guitar offers vintage inspired Telecaster tones with a bit more power and depth on account of their higher output. Expect a thick, full-bodied voice with excellent note separation and bite in the bridge position, complemented by an open, warm, and airy response from the neck pickup. The blond finish has been tastefully relic'd, giving the guitar a nicely worn in feel and vibe. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis lightly used Telecaster remains in near-mint condition.

Marchione honed his craft in the early 1990s while working under the guidance of John Suhr at Pensa-Suhr guitars, in addition to studying privately with Manhattan-based violin builders Guy Rabut and Charles Rufino. Since opening his own shop in 1993, Stephen Marchione has built hundreds of unique archtop, solidbody, and flattop guitars for musicians of all stripes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned in conjunction with American jazz guitarist Mark Whitfield, the Marchione 15\" archtop features a carved European spruce top, highly figured maple back, sides, and neck, along with African Ebony fingerboard, bridge, tailpiece, headstock overlay, and binding. The guitar is outfitted with a floating Marchione humbucker (8.3k), designed to deliver the complex harmonic response of a late 1950s Gibson PAF. Additionally, this archtop features a transducer-style piezo pickup wired to a separate output jack for a rich and warm acoustic amplified voice. With Marchione's soft V \"Ergonomic Neck Carve” that features a 1-11\/16” nut width, first fret thickness of .885” and a 25.4\" scale length, and 1-11\/16\" nut width, the guitar offers a wonderfully comfortable playing experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Marchione 15\" archtop model is a striking instrument. The use of ebony appointments against the natural spruce and maple creates a beautiful contrast across the guitar with the impressively figured maple back and sides adding to the instrument's elegant aesthetic. This decade-old archtop remains in very good cosmetic condition. Finish chipping around the fret ends, light finish crazing, and a previously reglued portion of the back seam suggest the guitar was left in a dry environment in the past.

The body and neck are mahogany, and the fretboard and bridge are rosewood. The slotted headstock is fitted with brass Waverly tuners with ivoroid buttons, the fretboard is radiused and has a short 24.4” scale, and the nut width is 1-3\/4” - a 1\/16” narrower than Martin’s other slotted headstock guitars of the period.

The guitar is crack-free; its only other repairs are two cleanly reglued back-brace ends and a new bone nut; all compliments of Folkway’s repairshop. The original frets are well dressed and play cleanly.

Rather than bending thin wooden ribs, Rigels are built using a solid hardwood block carved out to form the sides, into which the hand-carved spruce top and maple back are precisely fitted. This structural frame creates an exceptionally robust body that resists top-sink while delivering immediate projection, long sustain, and softly contoured edges that sit comfortably against the player. Combined with radiused ebony fingerboards, modern fretwire, and factory-installed internal piezo pickups, Rigel instruments have long been a favorite of performers who need flawless playability and gig-ready plugged-in tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Rigel A-Plus Oval Hole takes this inventive architecture and marries it to the sweet, expansive voice of early 20th-century oval-hole mandolins. While F-hole models focus on a sharp, dry \"chop\" for cutting through bluegrass jams, oval-hole designs allows the top to vibrate is a way that can yield a throatier low-mid response and rich overtone complexity. They tend to have a singing sustain that excels in folk, Celtic, old-time, and solo playing – which would describe this Rigel to a tee. Thanks to the stiffness of the carved frame, the A-Plus Oval retains excellent note clarity up the entire neck, avoiding the muddy response sometimes found in vintage oval-hole builds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example was built by Langdell himself after moving his shop to Hyde Park, Vermont.

The Vibrolux borrowed elements from several previous Fender designs – it shares a nearly identical schematic to the Harvard, and its tremolo circuit is repurposed from the Tremolux – and its all housed in the same cabinet as a Deluxe. Like the Harvard, Fender's Vibrolux featured a 10\" Jensen speaker and two 6V6 power tubes putting out roughly 10 watts of power. Shortly after the model's introduction, the 5E11 Vibrolux was updated to the 5F11 circuit, which utilized capacitors of slightly different values on the oscillator circuit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its original tweed, triad transformers, and circuit, this first-year 5F11 Vibrolux is a wonderful Fender tweed amp.

With its offset body and 24\" scale length, the Jaguar was Fender's answer to those who found the Jazzmaster unwieldy to play, as compared to the Telecaster and Stratocaster. Priced at $379.50, the Jaguar was the most expensive model in the Fender catalog upon its release, costing $30 more than the Jazzmaster, $120 more than a Stratocaster, and a whopping $170 more than a Telecaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith the introduction of Fender's first official Custom Color chart in late 1961, the Jaguar's early 1962 debut provided a perfect opportunity to showcase some of the new exciting color options. While Custom Colors had traditionally been applied on a made-to-order basis, Fender issued small batches of Jaguars in a variety of colours, likely to advertise their new color range. As such, Custom Color Jaguars, while still quite rare, can be found more frequently than Custom Color Telecasters, Stratocasters, and Jazzmasters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFinished in the particularly uncommon \"Shoreline Gold,\" this first-year Jaguar is an incredibly impressive guitar. With a neck built in May of 1962, this Jaguar sports a \"slab\" rosewood fingerboard, a feature that disappeared from Fender guitars starting in the summer of 1962. As \"Slab-board\" Jaguars were only produced for a very narrow window in 1962, the combination of a slab board with a Shoreline Gold makes this early Jaguar an exceedingly rare guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe finish is completely original and remains in good condition overall. Finish chipping around the tuner ferrules on the headstock has been stabilized. A patch of wear in the top-coat around the arm bevel is the only notable flaw on the body. The guitar is otherwise completely original apart from replacement foam added underneath the pickup for improved height adjustment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe pair of flatpole pickups sound fantastic, offering a slightly thicker response with more midrange presence than Jaguar pickups from later in the decade.

While the first Esquires are undeniably historically significant guitars they were far from perfect instruments, lacking an adjustable truss rod and featuring low-quality pine wood bodies obscured by a solid black finish. Pressure from Leo's right-hand-man, Don Randall, led Fender to design a two-pickup variant of the solid body, complete with a more serviceable neck fitted with an adjustable truss rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDebuting under the moniker \"Broadcaster\" in October of 1950, Fender's double-pickup Spanish guitar featured a second pickup in the neck position, an adjustable truss rod and a translucent blond finish over a high-quality ash wood body. The Broadcaster was, in short, a near-perfect instrument with one exception: its name. In February of 1951, Fender was sent a telegram from Fred Gretsch Manufacturing Company, alerting them to a potential trademark infringement over Gretsch's flagship drumset, the Broadkaster. In a stroke of wordplay genius, Don Randall came up with a revised name, referencing a more recent and exciting form of media consumption: television. Thus, Fender's perfected solid body guitar, the Telecaster, was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAn incredibly clean Telecaster from the model's first full year of production, this 1952 build is a beautifully preserved example of a \"Blackguard.” Completely original apart from a professional refret and neck pickup rewind, this 1952 Telecaster is low on excuses. The original blond finish is in excellent condition with minimal playwear. Fine finish crazing and an assortment of small dents, scratches, and chips can be found on close inspection. The only notable wear is found is on the guitar's back treble-side edge, resulting from the guitar being played while seated. The original finish over the fingerboard shows some wear but is in excellent condition overall. All finish is original without any evidence of touch-up or overspray. The original decal is without chipping or flaking. A hairline crack stemming from a neck-mount screw-hole has been glued and poses no structural issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA fantastic-sounding instrument, this Blackguard is everything you would hope a golden-era Telecaster would be. The original and unmodified bridge pickup (6.1K) delivers wonderfully rich and full-bodied Tele tones with excellent snap, clarity and power. The neck pickup (6.2k) offers a warm and robust voice with clear note separation and a beautifully airy quality in the top end. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith its remarkably comfortable, full, rounded neck carve and professional refret this 1952 Telecaster offers a dreamy playing experience. The original fretboard finish remains original and unmodified. If you ever thought twice about having a vintage guitar refretted, playing this Telecaster would change your mind fast!
