FENDER Standard Telecaster Marble Finish "Bowling Ball" (U.S. Mfg. 1984) Description
- similar to the Standard Telecaster (U.S. Mfg. 1982-85), except has a swirled finish that resembles a bowling ball, mfg. 1984 only.
This unique finish was the result of dipping the white primer coated bodies into an oil-based finish that floated on water. After dipping, the guitar received a top coat of polyurethane. Fender produced three dominant colors: Red finish that had black and white swirled in (sometimes resulting in gray areas as well), Blue finish that was mixed with yellow and black, and Gold finish that was combined with white and silver. According to the original purchase order, 50 Telecasters were ordered (21 in Red, 21 in Blue, and 8 in Gold). These guitars were painted by Anthony Nasiatka in Floral Park, NY. (Information courtesy Anthony Nasiatka with help from Michael F. McCarthy).
