Fender introduces the Fiesta red 1962 brazilian rosewood Telecaster in 2009 as a very limited edition with a superb Braziian rosewood fretboard. Only 250 of those amazing strat were supposed to be produced. Just 50 or so instruments was available for Europe, but as Fender stopped the production before the end of the run and asked for the guitar to be shiped back to USA due to export documents missing, who knows how many were built and in the end, how many are still around… Anyway, here’s one of them, and this gutiar was part of a collection and really unplayed. It shows no playwear at all and looks like when we sold it in 2009.
This guitar is a gem: great looking 3 Tone Sunburst finish, beautiful 2 pieces alder body and an amazing and great looking brazilian rosewood fretboard.Those limited edition are great guitars, with twang and tones like very few other instruments. The brazilian Fretboard gives a rich and precise attack and tone. And as a limited features, this brings also this guitar in more sough after instrument.
In the spirit of the original, Fender’s ‘62 Telecaster, this guitar comes equipped with a Medium 65 “C”-shaped maple neck, a modern 10” radius Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, Custom Handwound Abigail Ybarra vintage single-coil pickups, a vintage 62 style bridge and features a modern circuit with a five-position switch. Deluxe Blond Hardshell Case, certificate of Authenticity and accessories included.
