Built to feel familiar from the first chord
This '63 Telecaster from the Fender Custom Shop hits the sweet spot between vintage vibe and modern playability. The Aged Surf Green finish has just the right amount of wear. It looks like it’s been gigged, loved, and passed down without losing its edge.
The neck has a comfortable mid-'60s Oval C shape, paired with a rosewood board and narrow tall frets that make bends feel easy and chords ring out clean. Hand-wound '63 pickups deliver the snap, bark, and shimmer you expect from a great Tele. Nothing sterile. Nothing overhyped.
It’s the kind of guitar that makes you want to plug in and stay a while. Comes with a vintage-style case and certificate of authenticity.
