Fender Telecaster – Olympic White Vintage Electric Guitar with Maple Neck 1972 serial, Jan 1973 Neck Date

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Available now is a vintage 1973 Fender Telecaster in its original Olympic White finish, complete with a maple neck.

This Tele delivers the signature bright, punchy tone that made it a studio and stage legend—perfect for country twang, blues bite, or gritty rock rhythm work.

The body shows tasteful aging, giving it true vintage character, while the neck is smooth and comfortable.

Original electronics, Fender-stamped tuners, and ashtray bridge cover round out this iconic piece.

The frets were professionally replaced, which is nice because the frets on these guitars are always low.

The original switch tip is damaged internally, so the cream colored one was added.

Whether you're a collector or a serious player, this '73 Tele offers exceptional vintage Fender tone and feel with timeless visual appeal.
