AmericanVintage 62 Tele Custom description:

The Fender AMERICAN VINTAGE 62 TELE Custom 6-String Reissue Electric Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst. Superb '62 Tele, built in the spirit of the original with a C-shaped maple neck and a 7.25 inch-radius rosewood fingerboard.

The Fender American Vintage 62 Tele Custom guitar is an interesting part of Telecaster history! The double-bound alder body and multi-ply pickguard that dressed up the ’62 Telecaster guitar distinguished it from its Butterscotch predecessor. And rosewood, originally introduced for cosmetic reasons because maple was prone to showing wear, quickly grew in popularity with the warmth it added to the classic Telecaster tone. In the spirit of the original, the American Vintage ‘62 Telecaster Custom guitar has a C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25 inch-radius rosewood fingerboard. It also features a pair of ’62 Custom Tele single-coil pickups, a vintage Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, and the original Tele circuit with three-position switch. Fender really do pay homage to their own with the American Vintage ’62 Telecaster Custom.
