FENDER TELECASTER (CBS MFG. 1965-1983) Description
- single cutaway ash body with routing channel between the pickups, bolt-on maple neck, "F" stamp on neckplate, 21-fret maple fingerboard with black dot inlays (1967-1982) or rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays (1965-69), "Telecaster" logo on headstock with six-on-one-side tuners, STB anchored bridge with three paired-string adj. saddles, white pickguard, two single coil pickups, two knobs (v, tone) and a three-way switch mounted on a metal plate, chrome hardware, available in Blonde finish, mfg. 1965-1982.
This model is referred to as CBS Mfg. because of the sale of Fender Musical Instruments Corp. to the CBS Broadcasting Co. in early 1965. Between 1967 and 1969, a maple fingerboard was optional, and by 1969, it was standard. In 1972, two string guides were introduced on the headstock. In 1975, a black pickguard replaced white pickguard. In 1981, a white pickguard replaced the black pickguard. In 1982, this model was changed to the Standard Telecaster.
