Product information

A pristine Custom Shop 1969 Telecaster NOS - vintage aesthetic, modern playability, and hand-wound '67 pickups that nail classic Tele tone without a single compromise.

This Fender Custom Shop 1969 Telecaster NOS occupies a particular sweet spot - the aesthetic of a pristine vintage find with the playability of a thoughtfully built modern instrument. It's a combination that's harder to achieve than it sounds, and this example definitely gets it right.

The two-piece select ash body delivers everything you'd expect from this iconic model: classic Tele snap and articulation, a slightly scooped midrange, and the kind of resonance that makes a great Telecaster feel alive before you've even plugged in. The quartersawn maple neck carries a comfortable '60s Oval C profile with narrow tall frets, that to our hands, feels perfect. It's a fast, responsive neck that disappears under your hands whether you're digging into twangy leads or riding the volume knob for something more nuanced.

The hand-wound '67 pickups deliver balanced, articulate, and deeply musical tones across all three switch positions - real twang and bite without harshness, real warmth without mud. Just classic Tele tone with a wide, forgiving sweet spot that rewards every style of playing.

The nitro finish completes the picture: gently aged in look and feel, smooth to the touch, and a quiet reminder that NOS (new old stock) doesn't mean sterile. It means a clean slate with all the character already built in.
