This instrument is a Original 1968 Fender Telecaster Used Model in Good Cosmetic Condition and in Perfect Playing Condition. On this one, the Flame Maple Neck was re-varnish, there are some dents and finish imperfections on it and some numbers were engraved on the headstock back (see 14th and 17th pictures), there is metal deterioration and several scratches on the pickups, bridge and bridge cover (see 18th to 20th pictures). Also, there are many cracks, scratches, notches and finish imperfections on the body (see 21st to 25th pictures). On the case, most letters of the Fender logo are missing and there are some scratches, marks, rips and metal oxydation (see 29th and 30th). Unit comes in its Original Fender 1968 Hardshell Case. THE TELECASTER The rich history of Fender guitars begins with the Telecaster. An indispensible workhorse instrument, it endures remarkably unchanged as a marvel of elegantly simple form and solidly utilitarian function. As the world's first successful solid-body electric guitar, the Telecaster revolutionized guitar playing, changed the sound of music and became a signature instrument for guitarists worldwide. Perfected after two years of development—and a name change or two—the Telecaster debuted in February 1951 and began its steady ascent toward stage and studio indispensability. Ingeniously engineered and heard loud and clear, it was a marvel of simple design elegance and workhorse utilitarian function. It is perhaps fitting testimony to its essential original rightness that the Telecaster has hardly changed ever since. 1968 TELECASTER SPECS •1968 marks the end of an era for the Telecaster. With the changes noted below, the "pre-CBS" era is over. (Even though CBS officially bought Fender in 1965, it took until the fall of 1967 for the changes to really make a difference.) •Black Fender decal with gold trim with the two patent numbers moved under the "Fender" part of the decal. (Actually this style Fender logo started in the fall of 1967.) •"F" style tuning gears replaces Kluson-Deluxe gears. (Again this style of tuners started in the fall of 1967.) •Wiring changed (late 1967.) Now a more traditional 2 pickup selection was implemented. The front switch position was the front pickup, middle switch position was both pickups, and back switch position was the bridge pickup. All three positions used the tone knob. To do this a .05mfd cap was put between the volume and tone pots, and a .001mfd cap between two lugs of the volume pot. (see •3 position switch changed. A new style 3 way switch was used. •Polyester "thick skin" finish replaces nitrocellulose lacquer. This transition is slow, and often a 1968 Tele can have a poly finished body with a lacquer neck.
