Fender Custom Shop Limited Run Rosewood Telecaster Overview
Fender built several instruments in the late '60s made completely of hand-selected rosewood. These were in production only very briefly and are now highly collectable on the vintage market. Jimi Hendrix reportedly had one of the first Rosewood Stratocaster® guitars, and George Harrison of the Beatles used one of the original Rosewood Telecaster guitars on Let It Be and for the famous Apple Records rooftop concert in January 1969.The Closet Classic Rosewood Telecaster is once again offered as a Limited Edition for 2014 and is a meticulously crafted replica of one of the most sought after guitars in Fender history. Features include a rosewood body, rosewood neck with early-'60s "oval C"-shaped profile and no skunk stripe or plug, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 6105 frets, vintage-style hardware, Twisted Tele® pickups with modern wiring, and satin urethane Closet Classic finish. Each guitar comes with a Limited Edition case, decal, neck plate and certificate of authenticity.
