zZounds Gear Experts Say...
With warm tone and classic good-looks, this Telecaster has it all. It features a rosewood fingerboard, vintage bridge and two '62 Tele Custom Single-Coil Pickups for that classic Telecaster sound.

Introduced because maple tended to show wear, rosewood became a popular fingerboard option that also added warmth to the classic Fender Telecaster tone. The American Vintage 62 Custom Telecaster has a double-bound alder body and multi-ply pickguard that distinguish it from its Butterscotch predecessor. In the spirit of the original, it has a C-shaped maple neck, 7.25-radius rosewood fingerboard, dual 62 Custom Telecaster single-coil pickups, vintage Telecaster bridge with threaded steel saddles, and original Tele circuit with three-position switch.
