Fender Telecaster Surf

The Classic Series '50s Stratocaster guitar epitomizes the vibe of the '50s. The color selection alone - Surf Green, Daphne Blue and Fiesta Red - takes you back to the era of diners, Ike and cars with fins. With a maple freeboard, tinted neck, single-ply pickguard and aged plastic parts, it's authentically retro, and the three single-coil pickups with staggered alnico magnet pole pieces deliver that unmistakable '50s Stratocaster sound.

Introduced because maple tended to show wear, rosewood became a popular fingerboard option that also added warmth to the classic Telecaster tone. The American Vintage '62 Custom Telecaster has a double-bound alder body and multi-ply pickguard that distinguish it from its Butterscotch predecessor. In the spirit of the original, it has a C-shaped maple neck, 7.25"-radius rosewood fingerboard, dual '62 Custom Telecaster single-coil pickups, vintage Telecaster bridge with threaded steel saddles, and original Tele circuit with three-position switch.

The new Pawn Shop Series guitars draw inspiration from the eccentric and sometimes wildly innovative Fender creations of the mid-'60s and mid-'70s era that sometimes found their way to the outside world and into the more esoteric pages of Fender history. With this adventurous spirit in mind, Pawn Shop Series instruments emerge as all-new Fender guitars with a boldly creative alchemy of diverse Fender components. And while they are brand-new members of the Fender family crafted with thoroughly modern sound and quality, Pawn Shop Series instruments now take the stage with a remarkable new identity as "guitars that never were but should have been."
