The eye-catching looks of the Fender '69 Blue Flower Telecaster certainly raised a few eyebrows on its release in the late '60s. Inspired by the burgeoning psychedelic music scene, this dazzling guitar was a reflection of the exciting, experimental times in which it was made. While the visual style may have been new, the sound of the '69 Blue Flower Telecaster was--and is--unmistakably Fender.

The '69 Blue Flower Telecaster has all the Tele twang and bite you've grown to love, courtesy of the pair of vintage-style single-coil Tele pickups. The traditional control complement--master volume, tone and a three-position pickup switch--shape the pickups' voice to match your sonic vision. The American Vintage three-saddle string-through-body bridge offers chrome barrel saddles for classic Fender tone. Topped by a vintage-accurate 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard, the comfortable "Slim C"-shaped one-piece maple neck hosts 21 vintage frets and a synthetic bone nut.

Chromed hardware, cast/sealed Gotoh tuning machines and a four-bolt neck plate; all the classic appointments that made a Telecaster shine on stage under the spotlights are here. Straddling the line between instrument and art, the '69 Blue Flower Telecaster is a stunning example of Fender's legacy of eye-catching aesthetics.
