After the Telecaster blazed a new trail through the 1950s, a new version featuring a bound body-the Telecaster Custom-was introduced in the early 1960s. Our ’62 Telecaster pays striking homage to that guitar, with an Olympic White lacquer finish, black binding and white pearloid block inlays on a rosewood fretboard.

I also like the redwood body but the neck on that guitar looks revolting. It looks like the neck once belonged to another guitar and was slapped on this body as it was the only one available.

It really looks like they spent all their time making the body and the day before the release.... "OH CRAP, WE NEED A NECK!!"
