All products by Fender Other Six String - Fixed Bridge Solid Body by Fender

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, our American Vintage '62 Telecaster Custom guitar has a C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25"-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.
