Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster NOS Pink Paisley

A late-’60s Fender statement piece recreated with Custom Shop detail, this Vintage Custom ’68 Telecaster wears the unmistakable Pink Paisley finish in NOS condition. The NOS lacquer with WLS undercoat preserves the fresh, factory-new presentation, while the two-piece select alder body and rift-sawn maple neck provide the foundation for a distinctly ’60s-inspired build.

The neck features a round-laminated rift-sawn maple fingerboard, lacquer finish and ’60s Oval “C” profile. A 7.25-inch to 9.5-inch Vintage Compound radius and 21 Medium Vintage 47095 frets balance period feel with comfortable playability. Hand-wound ’67 Tele pickups, modern Tele wiring and a three-way blade switch cover the classic Tele spectrum from bright, cutting bridge tones to warm neck sounds. A clear pickguard lets the Paisley finish remain the visual focus. Includes Deluxe Hardshell Case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
