Fender Telecaster Natural, 1974 / *No Longer Available*

This Fender Telecaster, built in 1974 sports a relatively unusual Natural finish and is in very nice, all original condition. Built with a one-piece Maple neck – and its Walnut ‘Skunk’ stripe covering the channel for the rear-mounted truss rod and a three-piece Ash body, this example is typical of the Telecaster design and the aesthetics of this period.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Precision Jazz Bass Modified, 1965

Part of Leo Fender’s genius can be seen in how easy it is to modify his instruments without compromising their ability to function, even enhancing it. This 1965 Fender Precision Jazz bass, built just after CBS took ownership of Fender, was modified long ago to extend a Precision Bass with Fender Jazz Bass tones.

❌SOLD❌ Music Man Stingray Bass Walnut, 1979

❌SOLD❌ Music Man Stingray Bass Walnut, 1979

Introduced in 1976, the Music Man Stingray bass quickly established itself as an alternative to the dominant Fender basses – partly due to one of its key designers being Leo Fender himself! Music Man was formed in 1974, having first been named Tri-Sonix in 1971 and then MusiTek. It was a partnership between electronics designer Tom Walker and former Fender executive Forrest White with Leo Fender as a silent partner – until 1975, Leo was still bound to a non-compete clause in his sale of Fender to CBS.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Telecaster Deluxe Mocha, 1975

Built from 1972 to 1979 along with the Custom, the Fender Telecaster Deluxe had a number of unique features, blending influences from both Fender and Gibson products. Starting with the basic Tele design, the Fender Telecaster Deluxe added a pair of Fender’s new Seth Lover – designed Wide Range Humbuckers plus individual volume and tone controls, and the bridge from a Hard-Tail Stratocaster, with the ‘new’ larger pickguard and higher-mounted pickup selector mostly shared with the Custom.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Precision Bass Sunburst, 1973

It’s hard to overstate the impact of the Fender Precision Bass. Deceptively simple, it changed the way popular music is performed and recorded. Here we’re looking at a sunburst, Rosewood fingerboard Fender Precision Bass, built in Fullerton, California during the era of CBS’s Fender ownership. It is dated to 1971 based on its features and its serial number plate. The body is Alder, and the neck Maple with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard.
