Overview

A faithful recreation of an iconic '60s Telecaster, built with vintage precision.

The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Telecaster Custom Time Machine limited-edition electric guitar captures the look, feel, and sound of one of Fender's most iconic models. Painstakingly crafted by the Fender Custom Shop, this guitar is designed to transport players back to 1962 with its vintage-correct specifications and details. Featuring a select 2-piece alder body finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, this Telecaster embodies the classic look with its double-bound body, white nitrocellulose binding, and a black single-color finish. Whether you're a collector or a player, this limited-edition model is a stunning example of Fender’s history.

Vintage Noiseless Pickups for Authentic '60s Tone

Outfitted with a '63 Telecaster Custom Shop neck pickup, this guitar delivers the classic Telecaster tone that defined the '60s. Expect warm, rich lows and punchy, articulate highs that cut through the mix without hum. Paired with a standard Tele bridge assembly from 1963, this guitar produces the unmistakable "twang" that has made the Telecaster a go-to instrument for country, rock, and blues players for generations. Whether you're playing clean or with overdrive, this Telecaster offers a vintage sound with all the clarity and punch you need.

Premium Craftsmanship for Vintage Playability

The '62 Telecaster Custom is built for players who appreciate vintage feel and playability. The custom neck, based on a 1960 Telecaster NOS (New Old Stock), features a 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets and a 60s-style Oval "C" neck shape. This neck provides a smooth, comfortable feel for both rhythm and lead playing. With a bone nut and wide dot spacing, the guitar offers exceptional tuning stability and smooth playability across the fretboard.

Nitrocellulose Finish and Lightweight Build

The lightweight, 2-piece alder body of the '62 Telecaster Custom is finished in a nitrocellulose lacquer, which allows the wood to breathe and resonate more naturally, producing a rich, dynamic tone. The guitar features top and bottom body binding in white nitrocellulose for an elegant vintage look. The period-accurate black finish adds to its vintage charm, making it a must-have for players seeking a true-to-era instrument.
