Fender 1998 Collector's Edition Telecaster

Product Information

Fender introduced this limited edition Telecaster at the 1998 Winter NAMM Show.  This Tele is essentially built to mid-1955 specifications (chunky soft V-shape neck, white pickguard, round string tree, flush pole pieces on bridge pickup, steel bridge saddles, etc.), except for the medium frets, abalone dot markers, and commemorative "1998" 12th fret inlay.  Even the gold hardware and 2-tone sunburst finish are technically correct as they were options on the originals, though very, very rare.  Only 1, 998 Collector's Edition Telecasters were made and distributed worldwide.
