Marcus was on the hunt for a new (to him) Fender Telecaster, something with some Springsteen vibe. After picking and playing several iconic teles, he stumbled across this really unique piece that just found its way to Chicago Music Exchange two days prior. It’s a 1967 Fender Telecaster in a blonde finish. What really sets this guitar apart from the others is the modified pickup in the neck. The original pickup was replaced with a vintage Gibson Patent Number pickup that really gives this guitar a screaming rock n’ roll sound.
