USED FENDER / 1976 Telecaster with Rosewood Fingerboard, Blonde Finish [04]

1976 Fender Telecaster with Rosewood Fingerboard, Blonde Finish

Following the 1965 acquisition by CBS, Fender guitars underwent a unique evolution in the 1970s to meet the demands of the era’s loud, modern music scene. Telecasters of that era also adopted features such as a substantial ash body and highly durable polyester finish, evolving toward a tighter, more defined sound.

This instrument was built in 1976, during Fender’s transitional period in the 1970s. You can fully appreciate its cool appearance—combining the highly popular Blonde finish with a rosewood fingerboard—as well as the robust, punchy Telecaster tone characteristic of this era.

The body is made of ash, and the maple neck features a round-inlaid rosewood fingerboard.
The headstock features the Fender CBS logo, two patent numbers, and the word “TELECASTER” decals, along with “F”-stamped tuners (the first-string peg has a curve) and two string guides.

The round-laminated neck features original frets and pearloid position marks. The pickguard is an original 3-ply black model typical of the 1970s.

The pickups include a stacked pickup with black and white vinyl wiring and a sturdy, rounded cover in the front position, and a stacked pickup with black and yellow vinyl wiring and a gray bobbin in the rear position. The pot dates are Vol “1377609” / Tone “1377609,” and the capacitors are Circle D, all of which are original.

The finish is a traditional blonde, which, combined with the white pickguard and rosewood fingerboard, gives it a 1960s-style look.
Overall, there is some discoloration of the finish due to age, sticker residue on the back of the body, and numerous scratches and dents from use; however, this is a guitar with a high degree of originality in its parts.
The frets are slightly low, with about 60% remaining, and we have confirmed that the truss rod turns 60 degrees in both directions.
