🎸 Historical context & significance
Harrison used a full rosewood-body and rosewood-neck Telecaster during the filming of Let It Be and in the famous rooftop concert of Jan 1969. According to the Fender Custom Shop, they recreated that instrument in tribute.
The original late-’60s rosewood Telecasters were made only for a very short period and are highly collectible.
The Custom Shop version builds on that heritage: full rosewood body (or heavy rosewood material), rosewood neck & fretboard, period-correct specs, etc. For the model in question:
Body Wood: Indian Rosewood
Neck Wood: Rosewood, Fingerboard: Rosewood
Scale Length: 25.5" (
Neck carve: Mid-60’s Oval C
It carries the “Masterbuilt by Greg Fessler” designation, meaning it was built by one of the top builders at Fender’s Custom Shop — premium, limited run, high value.
