Introduced in 1959 the Tele Custom is basically a standard alder body tele in 3 tones sunburst with a bound body.This 1960 all original one has a very bright and beautifull red even after over 40 years.You can clearly see the gorgeous thick brazillian rosewood "slab board" with clay dots.On the detail picture of the upper shoulder you can see how the finish cracked and notice that the clear coat finish aged and gave a very yellowish tint to the originally white binding.
