1970 Fender Telecaster Custom 3-Tone Sunburst

A 1970 Fender Telecaster Custom in 3-Tone Sunburst finish.

This is the first iteration of the Telecaster Custom. From 1959 to 1972, the Fender Telecaster Custom was essentially a standard Tele with two single coil pickups and a bound body. So if you love the double bound Custom look but don't like humbuckers in your Tele, the first generation Customs are the vintage model you want. This guitar is all original including the Bigsby tailpiece and the beautiful 3-Tone Sunburst finish. The inclusion of the factory Bigsby gives you the ability to whammy your Tele tone and why not? Set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this guitar is playing and sounding just as it should. Comes with its original case. A real time capsule that would be a great addition to any Fender collection as well as a wonderful partner on stage.
