Painstakingly crafted by the Fender Custom Shop, this guitar is designed to transport players back to 1962 with its vintage-correct specifications and details.

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.

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.
