1962 Telecaster - Fiesta Red

Serial Number 92621

The 1962 Fender Telecaster pictured has the features common to that year. These include: a slab rosewood fingerboard on a maple neck, a silver “spaghetti” Fender decal on the headstock, and a volume and tone knob with a 3-way switch controlling two single coil pickups. Due to the opaque Fiesta Red custom color, this Telecaster has an alder body rather than the usual ash. It also has the 3-ply greenish celluloid pickguard reserved only for Telecaster Customs, and custom color Teles. Standard Teles continued to use a single ply white guard until the end of 1963.
