A wonderful example of a player-friendly "Pre-CBS" Fender instrument, this early 1964 Fender Telecaster is an entirely original guitar, apart from a tasteful body-only refinish by Toronto's Alistair Miller.
Equipped with a pair of particularly great sounding original pickups, this Telecaster offers a wonderfully rich and full-bodied voice with excellent articulation and dynamics in the bridge position, and a warm and airy response in the neck that’s brimming with harmonic content. The "dark cap" has been removed and the wiring changed to the modern Telecaster configuration allowing for both pickups to be engaged when the selector switch is in the middle position.
While this Telecaster was completed in 1964, the neck is dated October of 1963 and boasts a truly heavenly carve with a first fret depth of 0.81" and a full taper to 0.97" at the twelfth. The neck has aged beautifully, giving the guitar the perfectly worn-in feel that can only be found in a vintage instrument. A recent refret elevates the playing experience further, giving the instrument flawless performance across the fingerboard.
The guitar weighs a scant 6lbs 13oz lbs. 25-1/2" scale length. 1-5/8" nut width. Pickup D values of 6.4k (bridge) and 7.2K (neck). Pots are dated the 26th week of 1964 (204 6426).
With original blond tolex Fender case.
