Description
Although rich in music history pre-dating the 1960s in the hands of legends like Buck Owens and James Burton, the Fender Telecaster reached a new pinnacle with the roots of soul music. With the help of icons like Steve Cropper of Booker T. and the MGs and the Stax in-house band creating rhythms and riffs for classics like “Green Onions” and Otis Redding’s “Sittin’ On the Dock of the Bay,” the Telecaster changed the landscape of musical history forever. Seemingly pulled straight out of the grip of a timeworn, modern-day studio arsenal, this Custom Shop 1967 Fender Telecaster Relic is an authentic and great sounding recreation, fully equipped with vintage-design 1967 Telecaster pickups, vintage-style hardware, and 60s style oval “C’ neck with a 9.5” radius.
