News: Win a 60th Anniversary Fender Telecaster!

Earlier this year, Fender introduced two models commemorating the company’s original pair of groundbreaking instruments—the Telecaster and Precision Bass. The 60th Anniversary Telecaster features a new Blackguard Blonde finish created especially for the occasion.

Thanks to Fender Musical Instruments and the 2011 Ultimate Guide to Guitar & Bass Gear, one lucky player will win a 60th Anniversary worth $1,899.99. Here’s a little info on this iconic instrument.

The Telecaster

The rich history of Fender guitars begins with the instrument that was officially named the Telecaster in February 1951. It was the world’s first successful solidbody-electric guitar, and it transformed the role of the guitar in popular music. Still elegantly simple after 60 years, it remains the versatile voice of diverse and creative guitarists worldwide. The 60th Anniversary Telecaster honors its predecessors by packing more than half a century of classic sound and design into one collectible, U.S.-made instrument. Features include an ash body with a Blackguard Blonde thin-skin lacquer finish, a tinted maple neck and fretboard with a modern 9.5” radius, medium-jumbo frets, American Vintage Telecaster single-coil pickups, a black pickguard, an American Standard bridge with bent-steel saddles and a stamped brass plate, modern tuners, a commemorative neckplate, and a Fender/SKB molded case.
