Since its introduction as the Broadcaster in 1950 as the world’s first two-pickup, solidbody electric guitar, the Fender Telecaster has gone from strength to strength. It has been used in virtually every musical context that accepts electric instruments, and many musicians have built careers on its use. It’s truly an inspired design. Here we’re looking at a Fender Telecaster Maple Neck in Sunburst finish and largely original condition, built during 1978 in Fullerton, California during the CBS era.
Maple
Here in very good condition – and very white – the Gibson Les Paul Custom built during 2007 in Nashville. This clean example is in original condition with minimal wear to the finish or gold plating, though there is some wear to the plating where the player normally touched it – the bass end of the bridge and the metal tuner buttons, for example.

From 2010 to 2017, Gibson released 40 Collector’s Choice models, all drawn from original examples. This Gibson Collector’s Choice™ #7 example was one of 300 built during 2013 at Gibson Nashville and is in excellent condition – but as it reproduces a vintage instrument, it does not look like it did when new in 1960!

This Neal Moser ‘Red Eye’ model features one of the more distinctive and unusual finishes we’ve seen, and these were a specialty of Moser while working with GMW Guitar Works. Neal Moser has a long and varied history in the guitar business. While working with Bernardo Rico, Moser met Wayne Charvel. This led to an introduction to Lee Garver, owner of GMW Guitar Works in Glendora, California, and Dan Lawrence, owner of DRL Graphics and GMP Guitars in nearby San Dimas.
