I like to find a custom color Telecaster whenever I can but I usually can't. This time it works out. This one is from 1966. The finish is original Olympic white with some checking and patina. The guitar has an alder body and the weight is just under 7 and 1/2 pounds. The fingerboard is dark Brazilian rosewood. This one is a real screamer. The pickups sound great, as many Telecasters and Stratocasters from 1966 do. It nearly shreds itself ,with very little help from me.
