A Late Sixties Custom Color Factory Bigsby Telecaster.

A rare custom color 1969 factory Bigsby Telecaster that weighs 8.30 lbs. and has a nice comfortable nut width of 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Solid alder body and one-piece fretted maple neck (with a skunk stripe) with 21 original medium frets and inlaid black dot position markers. The neck profile is consistently medium-to-thick all the way up the fretboard starting at 0.87 inches at the first fret and gently rising to 0.92 inches at the 12th fret. Four-bolt neck plate with large Fender "F" logo. One plain metal-cover pickup (at neck) with an output of 6.83k and one black six-polepiece pickup (angled in bridgeplate) with a really hot output of 6.94k. Three-layer (white/black/white) plastic pickguard with eight screws. Fender factory 'floating' bridge with six 'ridged' saddles and factory Bigsby tremolo tailpiece. The neck is stamped in black "3 MAY 69B". This guitar is in excellent plus (8.75) condition, with a few scratches on the back, some areas of playing wear on the edges of the body and a few small surface chips. Overall, this is an excellent example of this rare custom color. Original Fender black hardshell case with reddish orange plush lining (9.00).
