Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1968 Blue Flower Telecaster 150129

Serial: 150129
Weight: 7 lb 11.2 oz

A standout Fender Custom Shop Tele with one of the coolest late-’60s-inspired looks, this Vintage Custom 1968 Blue Flower Telecaster pairs a Blue Floral front and back finish with a New Old Stock treatment and chrome/nickel hardware.

The alder body keeps the build rooted in classic Tele territory, while the Blue Flower artwork gives it the unmistakable visual personality that made these late-’60s Fender designs so collectible. A clear poly 8-hole pickguard lets the finish stay front and center, with the traveler noting paint around the pickup area.

The neck is a rift-sawn maple build with a medium tint nitrocellulose lacquer finish, round-lam construction, and a 60 Style Oval “C” profile. The 7.25"–9.5" compound-radius maple fingerboard, 21 medium vintage frets, 1.650" bone nut, and .850" to .920" neck depth give it a vintage feel with a slightly more modern playing surface.

A pair of hand-wound ’67 Tele NOS pickups keeps the voice true to the era, matched with a Modern Tele control setup, top-hat switch tip, and chrome knurled volume knob. The ’67 Tele bridge without pickup, vintage Tele output, Schaller F-key tuners, and 4-bolt neck construction complete the spec.

A Fender Custom Shop black Strat/Tele case is included.
