Fender Vintage Custom ’68 Telecaster® NOS

Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom ’68 Telecaster NOS — Pink Paisley

In 1967, as the Summer of Love swept the world in color and counterculture, Fender responded with two of the most visually striking guitars ever to come out of California — the Blue Flower and Paisley Telecasters. Ironically, it was rockabilly and country legends like James Burton who made them iconic, and now Fender’s Custom Shop has recreated them in stunning detail. The Vintage Custom ’68 Telecaster NOS in Pink Paisley is a genuine piece of Fender history you can actually play.
