Fender American Vintage 62 CUSTOM Telecaster

FENDER 0106200 Details

American Vintage ‘62 Telecaster® Custom

0106200

Originally introduced for cosmetic reasons, as maple was prone to showing wear, rosewood became a popular feature that also added warmth to the classic Tele tone. The double-bound alder body and multi-ply pickguard dress up the ‘62, distinguishing it from its Butterscotch predecessor.

In the spirit of the original, our ‘62 Custom Telecaster guitar comes equipped with a “C”-shaped maple neck, a 7.25” radius rosewood fingerboard, two ‘62 Custom Tele single-coil pickups, a vintage Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, and features the original Tele circuit with its three-position switch*.
