In 1968, Fender introduced the short-lived Paisley Red and Blue Flower finishes for the Telecaster and Telecaster Bass, which were influenced by the ‘Summer of Love’. These instruments were adorned with decorative adhesive foil and covered in a matching metallic paint that highlighted the bright colours of the intricately patterned paper. Many of these guitars fell victim to the fickle mix of thick paper, weak adhesives, polyester clear coats and time, eventually showing severe chipping that prompted players to repaint their guitars. Others were simply repainted to cover the polarising original finish. When production ceased in late 1969, these guitars and basses seemed to vanish into the ether.
Over the next six decades, these unsung heroes of the Free Spirit movement began popping up in vintage guitar shops and on the internet, eventually gaining a cult-like following. Country singer and Telecaster devotee Brad Paisley was enamoured with these offbeat guitars from the late ‘60s and eventually became the modern face of all Paisley finishes.
By a happy twist of fate, Brad was given what appeared to be a lightly used blue paisley patterned adhesive wrap during his guitar making apprenticeship - straight out of the 60s. Fuelled by his newfound enthusiasm for this blue paisley film, Brad set about making his own.
In collaboration with Brad Paisley, the Fender Custom Shop is proud to introduce the Limited Edition 1967 ‘Lost Paisley’ Telecaster. The swirling, pulsating and dazzling carousel of blues, greens and silvers of the Blue Paisley Relic finish adds the perfect vintage charm to the unique alder, paulownia and spruce Telecaster body. Equipped with a custom 60s oval ‘C’ shaped maple neck and round-laminated maple fingerboard, Seymour Duncan ‘Lost Paisley’ Telecaster pickups and a Glaser ‘G’ bender system, this guitar looks, sounds and feels like Brad's favourite Telecaster.
Other premium features include the 7.25" (184.1 mm) radius, 21 Narrow Tall frets, Modern Tele wiring, 3-way switch, ’67 Telecaster bridge with Glaser "G" Bender system, vintage-style tuners, bone nut, wing string tree, original Fender strap and certificate of authenticity.
