On its 1951 introduction, the Telecaster was a revolutionary instrument that would usher in whole new eras of musical innovation and excitement. Sixty years later, in 2011, it is an archetypal electric guitar with a long and storied history. The rich history of Fender guitars begins with the Telecaster, and we're celebrating its 60th anniversary all year with 12 very special "Tele-bration" models that stay inside the Telecaster's famously elegant lines while offering the finest and most unusual takes on the instrument's past, present and future.
Fender's Old-Growth Redwood Telecaster is hewn from centuries-old Northern California redwood that has aged into a fantastically strong and resonant tonewood. Paired with its modern-playing neck, vintage-style pickups and striking hand-rubbed oil-finish, the result is a highly elegant and distinctive take on the venerable Telecaster.
